How much can we know about sensory experience in the Middle Ages?
While few would question that the human senses encountered a
profoundly different environment in the medieval world, two
distinct and opposite interpretations of that encounter have
emerged -- one of high sensual intensity and one of extreme sensual
starvation.
Presenting original, cutting-edge scholarship, Stephen G.
Nichols, Andreas Kablitz, Alison Calhoun, and their team of
distinguished colleagues transport us to the center of this lively
debate. Organized within historical, thematic, and contextual
frameworks, these essays examine the psychological, rhetorical, and
philological complexities of sensory perception from the classical
period to the late Middle Ages.
