Medieval Bodies: Life and Death in the Middle Ages by Jack Hartnell

informative medium-paced

5.0

An absolute delight! I had a lot of fun with this. A wonderful intersection of some of my dearest interests, told in a fantastic way. I've seen others I know mention the author's frequent digressions, but to be honest I never once found them an issue; I never complain about learning more, even if to me it may feel irrelevant, but I never thought the tangents in this book were irrelevant. It all felt, if nothing else, contextual and painting a broader picture of this very intersectional topic. Great if you want a start to learning about a nicher aspect of history. Bravo.
