How did the life course, with all its biological, social and
cultural aspects, influence the lives, writings, and art of the
inhabitants of early medieval England? This volume explores how
phases of human life such as childhood, puberty, and old age were
identified, characterized, and related in contemporary sources, as
well as how nonhuman life courses were constructed. The
multi-disciplinary contributions range from analyses of age
vocabulary to studies of medicine, name-giving practices, theology,
Old English poetry, and material culture. Combined, these
cultural-historical perspectives reveal how the concept and
experience of the life course shaped attitudes in early medieval
England. Contributors are Jo Appleby, Debby Banham, Darren Barber,
Caroline R. Batten, James Chetwood, Katherine Cross, Amy Faulkner,
Jacqueline Fay, Elaine Flowers, Daria Izdebska, Gale R.
Owen-Crocker, Thijs Porck, and Harriet Soper.
