Hybrid Healing: Old English Remedies and Medical Texts (Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture) (Hardcover)
This book works from the premise that the tremendous diversity of Old English medical texts requires an equally diverse range of interpretative methodologies. Taking a case study approach, it offers close readings tailored to individual remedies, drawing from biology, rhetoric, archaeology, folkloristics and disability studies.
