Beskrivning
The boundaries between mental, social and physical order and various states of disorder – unexpected mood swings, fury, melancholy, stress, insomnia, and demonic influence – form the core of this compilation. For medieval men and women, religious rituals, magic, herbs, dietary requirements as well as to scholastic medicine were a way to cope with the vagaries of mental wellbeing; the focus of the articles is on the interaction and osmosis between lay and elite cultures as well as medical, theological and political theories and practical experiences of daily life.Time span of the volume is the later Middle Ages, c. 1300-1500. Geographically it covers Western Europe and the comparison between Mediterranean world and Northern Europe is an important constituent.Contributors are Jussi Hanska, Gerhard Jaritz, Timo Joutsivuo, Kirsi Kanerva, Sari Katajala-Peltomaa, Marko Lamberg, Iona McCleery, Susanna Niiranen, Sophie Oosterwijk, and Catherine Rider.

Recensioner i media

"This is an important addition to recent literature on the history of mental health, health and diet regimen, public health and disabilities in the Middle Ages. It is readable and interesting, and it would make a good addition to a course on medieval health or medieval disabilities. An advanced undergraduate would find this interesting, as would the scholar."Wendy Turner, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 28, No. 2, DOI:10.1093/shm/hkv013, Accessed on: 2 May, 2015"This wide-ranging collection of articles, edited by Sari Katajala-Peltomaa and Susanna Niiranen, will constitute a welcome addition to the bookshelves of medievalists dealing with themes of mental health and illness, or with the history of the emotions in the later medieval period... the volume succeeds both in bringing diverse scholarly approaches into a rewarding dialogue with one another and in presenting a pleasurable book to read...I enjoyed all parts of the volume and found it to be a valuable resource which I can whole-heartedly recommend. The essays enrich one another admirably when read together."Nancy Mandeville Caciola, English Historical Review cxxxii. 556 (June 2017)
