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

2.0

Unfortunately, this book attempted to cover an overly broad topic and was not able to accomplish a fully cohesive narrative of how people may have thought about their bodies in the Middle Ages. It also felt a bit contrived to call the book an exploration of the Middle Ages as most of the narrative seemed to focus on documents available from the 14th or 15th centuries. While other centuries may have been incorporated, it was too much of a stretch for me.
