At different times and in different places, the human form has been regarded in different ways. The Ancient Greeks thought it was an admirable subject for art, whereas early Christians often viewed it as lascivious. With illustrations taken from manuscripts, statuary and literary, this is a fascinating collection of essays with much that will be new to scholars and general readers alike.

At different times and in different places, the human form has been regarded in different ways. The Ancient Greeks thought it was the most admirable subject for art, whereas early Christians often viewed it as lascivious in our post-lapsarian state.

Benjamin Withers of Indiana University at South Bend and Jonathan Wilcox of University of Iowa, USA have assembled one of the most talented groups of young scholars in the field of early medieval studies and asked them to present and explore the evidence for how the human form was regarded by the English before the Norman Conquest.
