Publisher's Synopsis

This text argues that discourse on the body in Western European literature must begin by considering how the body served as the most basic medieval matrix for understanding reality; the modern "rediscovery" of the body and the modern focus on interdisciplinary perspectives constitute a return to medieval ways of knowing.
