This volume explores how phases of human life such as childhood, puberty, and old age were identified, characterized and related in contemporary sources, as well as how nonhuman life courses were constructed. The multi-disciplinary contributions range from analyses of age vocabulary to studies of medicine, name-giving practices, theology, Old English poetry, and material culture. Combined, these cultural-historical perspectives reveal how the concept and experience of the life course shaped attitudes in early medieval England"--Provided by publisher.Explorations in medieval culture ;Volume 20.Life cycle, Human, in literatureEnglish literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismEnglandSocial conditionsTo 1066Life cycle, Human, in literature.English literatureHistory and criticism.820.9354Porck ThijsSoper HarrietMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910825035103321Early medieval English life courses3998193UNINA
