This impressive volume presents a thorough examination of all aspects of physical impairment and disability in medieval Europe. Examining a popular era that is of great interest to many historians and researchers, Irene Metzler presents a theoretical framework of disability and explores key areas such as:

medieval theoretical concepts
theology and natural philosophy
notions of the physical body
medical theory and practice.

Bringing into play the modern day implications of medieval thought on the issue, this is a fascinating and informative addition to the research studies of medieval history, history of medicine and disability studies scholars the English-speaking world over.

Good introduction to a new topic

By SLarson on February 8, 2011

Format: Paperback

This is a general overview of the topic and hence a great introduction. This is a new field, and Dr. Metzler thoroughly introduces the historiography of the subject thus far, and the great gaps in the research that remain to be filled. The book is organized well, but her reliance on/treatment of hagiography as a legitimate source of historical reality is a bit overconfident.
