Skin is a multifarious image in medieval culture: the material
basis for forming a sense of self and relation to the world, as
well as a powerful literary and visual image. Treating key medieval
English texts and traditions, from romance and exemplum to
technical treatises and encyclopedias, the essays in this
collection show the subject of skin to be a peculiarly resistant
and revealing mode of reading texts, highlighting not the
hierarchy, but the interdependency of the senses, and laying bare
the intimacy of the human, the animal, the divine and the monstrous
in medieval natural philosophy, pastoralia and ethics, and the
literary imagination.
