Presents an interdisciplinary study of one of the crucial elements of medieval imaginations of the world: blood. This book shows how blood affirms the body as one of the major tenets of medieval thought. It is suitable for those interested in the history of the body across a wide range of disciplines: medieval history, and history of religion.
Medieval Blood is the first interdisciplinary account of one of the most crucial elements of the medieval imagination: blood. Taking blood and bodies seriously, this volume uses cutting-edge theory to propose that blood possesses the ability to shape the body as a distinct identity, transforming it from an unenclosed, diverse, and not unified vessel into a whole distinct from its surroundings—all through various strategies of discourse and investigation, each of which rely “wholeheartedly” on blood.
