These scholars approach their sources not from a particular ideological viewpoint but with an understanding that all topics, questions, and explanations are viable. They draw on a variety of sources in Latin, Arabic, French, German, Middle English, and more, and employ a range of theories and methodologies, always keeping in mind that environments are inseparable from the making of the people who inhabit them and that these people are in part constituted by and understood in terms of their communities. Essays feature close readings of both familiar and lesser known materials, offering provocative interpretations of John of Rupescissa's alchemy; the relationship between the living and the saintly dead in Bernard of Clairvaux's sermons; the nomenclature of heresy in the early eleventh century; the apocalyptic visions of Robert of Uzès; Machiavelli's De principatibus; the role of "demotic religiosity" in economic development; and the visions of Elizabeth of Schönau. Contributors write as historians of religion, art, literature, culture, and society, approaching their subjects through the particular and the singular rather than through the thematic and the theoretical. Playing with the wild possibilities of the historical fragments at their disposal, the scholars in this collection advance a new and exciting approach to writing medieval history. 606 $aMiddle Ages 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 606 $aIndividuality$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCommunity life$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aReligion and sociology$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSoul$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aEurope$xReligious life and customs 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions$yTo 1492 615 0$aMiddle Ages. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 615 0$aIndividuality$xHistory 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and sociology$xHistory 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSoul$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a940.1 701 $aFulton$b Rachel$01693204 701 $aHolsinger$b Bruce W$01693205 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808443803321 996 $aHistory in the comic mode$94070847 997 $aUNINA
