In Medieval Bodies, art historian Jack Hartnell uncovers the complex and fascinating ways in which the people of the Middle Ages thought about, explored and experienced their physical selves. In paintings and reliquaries that celebrated the - sometimes bizarre - martyrdoms of saints, the sacred dimension of the physical left its mark on their environment. In literature and politics, hearts and heads became powerful metaphors that shaped governance and society in ways that are still visible today. And doctors and natural philosophers were at the centre of a collision between centuries of sophisticated medical knowledge, and an ignorance of physiology as profound as its results were gruesome. Like a medieval pageant, this striking and unusual history brings together medicine, art, poetry, music, politics, cultural and social history and philosophy to reveal what life was really like for the men and women who lived and died in the Middle Ages."--From jacket. 650 0 $a Medicine, Medieval. 650 0 $a Civilization, Medieval. 650 0 $a Human body $x History. $x History. 710 2 $a Wellcome Collection, $e publisher. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212023534.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010413.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46D2AC664DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
