Newborn, washed, dressed, loved, stabbed or severely stabbed, opened, buried, even resurrected, medieval bodies are the key to understanding the very essence of everyday life in the past. The Naked Middle Ages book will help bring them to life as they were thought by the people of that era themselves. Head, senses, skin, bones, heart, blood, hands, stomach, genitals and, finally, legs - embodying in the text each of these anatomical objects in turn, the author builds a complete picture of the medieval body, rather than simply summarizing its parts. In doing so, the book embraces the then-current attitudes toward life and death, pain and beauty. This is the body in its broadest sense, a starting point for exploring all aspects of medieval life.
