Book Synopsis Strategies of Sanity and Survival by : Jussi Hanska
Download or read book Strategies of Sanity and Survival written by Jussi Hanska. This book was released on 2002-06-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an unusual book in many respects. It is a specific study based on original and in most cases unedited sources, but it can also be read as a general introduction. It crosses boundaries between different fields of learning and traditionally accepted time periods of history. Even if it is essentially a book on medieval man, it stretches far beyond the middle ages as conventionally understood. The final chapter traces the slow disappearance of the medieval mentality until the early nineteenth century.
