More than a mere pastime, chess was an important pedagogical tool
and thought paradigm in the Middle Ages. Much like people today who
speak in sports metaphors, the people of medieval Europe related
life to chess, making comparisons on and off the board to war,
politics, love, and the social order. In this collection of essays,
scholars investigate chess texts from various European traditions
and make the case for seeing chess as an important key to
understanding medieval culture.
