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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aExplorations in medieval culture ;$vVolume 20. 606 $aLife cycle, Human, in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEngland$xSocial conditions$yTo 1066 615 0$aLife cycle, Human, in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9354 702 $aPorck$b Thijs 702 $aSoper$b Harriet 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795334403321 996 $aEarly medieval English life courses$93681530 997 $aUNINA
