Is medicine merely a metaphor\nfor sin? Or can certain kinds of bodies physiologically dispose people to be\nangry, sad, or greedy? If so, then is it their fault? Virginia Langum offers an\naccount of the medical imagery used to describe feelings and actions in\nreligious and literary contexts, referencing a variety of behavioral\ndiscussions within medical contexts. The study draws upon medical and\ntheological writing for its philosophical basis, and upon more popular works of\nreligion, as well as poetry, to show how these themes were articulated,\nexplored, and questioned more widely in medieval culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137465580\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-44990-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 236\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752374988940,"sku":"9781137465580","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137465580.jpg?v=1772029755","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137465580","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
