funny informative slow-paced

4.25

A great look at what mediveal people knew and thought socially, personally, politically about bodies. Looks at the mediveal body from head to foot checking in with each sense along the way. It looks a lot at how physicality informed mentality and how mentality informed physicality and how those both affected someone sociall in the mediveal conception of existence. 
All trigger warnings are discussed not perpetuated by the author. They are looking at these issues from a sociopolitical and historic view.
