The spectacle of the wounded body figured prominently in the Middle
Ages, from images of Christ's wounds on the cross, to the ripped
and torn bodies of tortured saints who miraculously heal through
divine intervention, to graphic accounts of battlefield and
tournament wounds-evidence of which survives in the archaeological
record-and literary episodes of fatal (or not so fatal) wounds.
This volume offers a comprehensive look at the complexity of
wounding and wound repair in medieval literature and culture,
bringing together essays from a wide range of sources and
disciplines including arms and armaments, military history, medical
history, literature, art history, hagiography, and archaeology
across medieval and early modern Europe. Contributors are Stephen
Atkinson, Debby Banham, Albrecht Classen, Joshua Easterling,
Charlene M. Eska, Carmel Ferragud, M.R. Geldof, Elina Gertsman,
Barbara A. Goodman, Maire Johnson, Rachel E. Kellett, Ilana Krug,
Virginia Langum, Michael Livingston, Iain A. MacInnes, Timothy May,
Vibeke Olson, Salvador Ryan, William Sayers, Patricia Skinner,
Alicia Spencer-Hall, Wendy J. Turner, Christine Voth, and Robert C.
Woosnam-Savage.
