Sense And Feeling In Daily Living In The Early Medieval English World (Exeter St
Maren Clegg Hyer
Sense and Feeling in Daily Living in the Early Medieval English World seeks to illuminate important aspects of daily living and the experience of the environment through sense and emotion, using archaeological, art and textual sources. Twelve papers explore sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, and emotions such as anger, horror, grief and joy. Similar in theme andmethod to the first, second and third volumes in the Daily Living in theAnglo-Saxon World series, the collected articles illuminate how an understanding of the sensory and emotional landscape that helped form the daily lives of the peoples and the environments of early medieval England can inform the study of England before the Norman Conquest.
The sights, smells, and sounds that informed the physical and emotional landscape of town, scriptoria, and hall, for example, explain urbanplanning, literary imagery and emotional attachment evident among the earlymedieval English peoples. Experienced senses and emotions are thus as centralto understanding the inner and outer landscape of the pre-Conquest English as crafts,towns or water structures.
