Disability and Medieval Law: History, Literature and Society is an
intervention in the growing and complex field of medieval
disability studies. The size of the field and the complexity of the
subject lend themselves to the use of case studies: how a
particular author imagines an injury, how a particular legal code
deals with (and sometimes creates) injury to the human body. While
many studies have fruitfully insisted on theoretical approaches,
Disability and Medieval Law considers how medieval societies
directly dealt with crime, punishment, oath-taking, and mental
illness. When did medieval law take disability into account in
setting punishment or responsibility? When did medieval law choose
to cause disabilities? How did medieval authors use disability to
discuss not only law, but social relationships and the nature of
the human?The volume includes essays on topics as diverse as
Francis of Assissi, Margery Kempe, La Manekine, Geoffrey Chaucer,
early medieval law codes, and the definition of mental illness in
English legal records, by Irina Metzler, Wendy J. Turner, Amanda
Hopkins, Donna Trembinski, Marian Lupo and Cory James Rushton.
