解説

Cultural Perceptions of Health, Illness and Medicine in Medieval and Early Modern Europe explores the rich cultural history of bodily experience through diverse case studies spanning from Italy to Sweden and from England to the Levant.

How did medieval and early modern Europeans experience and understand sickness and health? How did they interact with health professionals and authorities, and which cultural and social networks shaped their understanding of wellness and illness? Drawing from extensive primary sources, this book examines how people of the past navigated their bodies' vulnerabilities both at home and abroad. It reveals how they consulted and challenged medical and civic authorities while seeking both physical and spiritual healing through religious practice.

Covering a broad temporal span from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century, this collection of essays reimagines the role of material bodies and their social and emotional significance in medieval and early modern cultural history. The work offers fresh insights into the intersection of medicine, culture, and society across five centuries of European experience.
