Is medicine merely a metaphorfor sin? Or can certain kinds of bodies physiologically dispose people to beangry, sad, or greedy? If so, then is it their fault? Virginia Langum offers anaccount of the medical imagery used to describe feelings and actions inreligious and literary contexts, referencing a variety of behavioraldiscussions within medical contexts. The study draws upon medical andtheological writing for its philosophical basis, and upon more popular works ofreligion, as well as poetry, to show how these themes were articulated,explored, and questioned more widely in medieval culture.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Medieval Literature; Medieval Culture; Medieval Medicine; 7 Deadly sins; Religion; antiquity; Christianity | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-44990-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-44990-0Series ISSN 2945-5936 Series E-ISSN 2945-5944 | issn_series | 2945-5936 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
