Book Synopsis Odd Bodies and Visible Ends in Medieval Literature by : S. Shimomura
Book excerpt: This study traces how medieval audiences judge bodies from Doomsday visions to beauty contests. Employing cultural and formalist approaches, this study breaks new ground on the historical obsession about ends and changes, reflected in different genres spanning several hundred years.
