About this product

Product Information

The Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities of medieval Western Europe conceived of the human body in manifold ways. The body was not a fixed or unmalleable mass of flesh but an entity that changed its character depending on its age, its interactions with its environment and its diet. For example, a slave would have been marked by her language, her name, her religion or even by a sign burned onto her skin, not by her color alone. Covering the period from 500 to 1500 and using sources that range across the full spectrum of medieval literary, scientific, medical and artistic production, this volume explores the rich variety of medieval views of both the real and the metaphorical body. A Cultural History of the Human Body in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the period with essays on the centrality of the human body in birth and death, health and disease, sexuality, beauty and concepts of the ideal, bodies marked by gender, race, class and age, cultural representations and popular beliefs and the self and society.

    Great value. Item is as described, and overall in very good condition. Safely packaged in a sturdy cardboard envelope, so it couldn't be damaged during delivery. Very quick dispatch and delivery. 10/10.

    Item was as described- however, having left instructions for the delivery, to place the package into a bin liner and then into a plastic box, so it would be protected from the rain, the package was left on top of the bin liner and was soaked through. I would suggest that books are placed in a plastic cover, to prevent this
