What was the world of sound like in the late Middle Ages? Aideen Lears's interdisciplinary research offers the opportunity to discover (and hear!) this, bringing us closer to understanding how people of that era thought and felt. Analyzing the works of prominent writers—from Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland to mystics Richard Rolle and Margery Kempe—the author presents sound as a cognitive tool that shapes worldviews, as well as a means of transmitting ideas and spiritual revelations.

This unique approach allows one to immerse oneself in medieval culture through sensory experience, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of its atmosphere.

This book will be a true treasure for medieval historians, as well as anyone interested in religious practices, cultural anthropology, and medieval English literature.
