The authors examine a broad spectrum of mental and emotional issues, which medieval authors point out as ?unusual? behavior. With the emerging field of medieval disability studies in mind, the authors have carefully considered legal and cultural descriptions for insight into the perception and understanding of mental impairment. These essays on madness in the Middle Ages elucidate how medieval society conceptualized mental afflictions. Individually, the essays cover aspects of mental impairment from a variety of angles to unearth collectively medieval perspectives on mental affliction. Contributors are James R. King, Kate McGrath, Irina Metzler, Aleksandra Pfau, Cory James Rushton, Margaret Trenchard-Smith, and Wendy J. Turner. 410 0$aLater Medieval Europe$v6. 606 $aPsychiatry$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMental illness$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aInsanity (Law)$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMedicine, Medieval$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory 615 0$aMental illness$xHistory 615 0$aInsanity (Law)$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine, Medieval$xHistory 676 $a362.196 676 $a362.196890094 701 $aTurner$b Wendy J$g(Wendy Jo),$f1961-$01619134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826154503321 996 $aMadness in medieval law and custom$93951236 997 $aUNINA
