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

5.0

Hartnell brings biology, history, art, and culture together wonderfully. He shows how the medieval ages aren't something to look down upon as we sometimes do. They are the foundation upon which the Renaissance and enlightenment are built, and it has plenty of beauty, strangeness, and creativity on its own. He makes it familiar, and yet still has an otherworldly feel to it as well.
