This book examines social and medical responses to the disfigured face in early medieval Europe, arguing that the study of head and facial injuries can offer a new contribution to the history of early medieval medicine and culture, as well as exploring the language of violence and social interactions. Despite the prevalence of warfare and conflict in early medieval society, and a veritable industry of medieval historians studying it, there has in fact been very little attention paid to the subject of head wounds and facial damage in the course of war and/or punitive justice. The impact of acquired disfigurement ?for the individual, and for her or his family and community?is barely registered, and only recently has there been any attempt to explore the question of how damaged tissue and bone might be treated medically or surgically. In the wake of new work on disability and the emotions in the medieval period, this study documents how acquired disfigurement is recorded across different geographical and chronological contexts in the period. . 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aMedieval Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/818000 606 $aMedieval Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E17000 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aMedieval Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 676 $a809.02 700 $aSkinner$b Patricia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0164915 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166650803321 996 $aLiving with Disfigurement in Early Medieval Europe$92271063 997 $aUNINA
