This book examines the lasting impact of war on individuals and
their communities in pre-modern Europe. Research on combat stress
in the modern era regularly draws upon the past for inspiration and
validation, but to date no single volume has effectively
scrutinised the universal nature of combat stress and its
associated modern diagnoses. Highlighting the methodological
obstacles of using modern medical and psychological models to
understand pre-modern experiences, this book challenges existing
studies and presents innovative new directions for future research.
With cutting-edge contributions from experts in history, classics
and medical humanities, the collection has a broad chronological
focus, covering periods from Archaic Greece (c. sixth and early
fifth century BCE) to the British Civil Wars (seventeenth century
CE). Topics range from the methodological, such as the dangers of
retrospective diagnosis and the applicability of Moral Injury to
the past, to the conventionally historical, examining how combat
stress and post-traumatic stress disorder may or may not have
manifested in different time periods. With chapters focusing on
combatants, women, children and the collective trauma of their
communities, this collection will be of great interest to those
researching the history of mental health in the pre-modern period.
