The Five Senses in Medieval and Early Modern England
No full textEdited by Annette Kern-Stähler, Beatrix Busse, and Wietse de Boer
The essays collected in The Five Senses in Medieval and Early Modern England examine the interrelationships between sense perception and secular and Christian cultures in England from the medieval into the early modern periods. They address canonical texts and writers in the fields of poetry, drama, homiletics, martyrology and early scientific writing, and they espouse methods associated with the fields of corpus linguistics, disability studies, translation studies, art history and archaeology, as well as approaches derived from traditional literary studies.
Together, these papers constitute a major contribution to the growing field of sensorial research that will be of interest to historians of perception and cognition as well as to historians with more generalist interests in medieval and early modern England

Looking across a range of disciplines that inform stylistics and are drawn on within this book (linguistic anthropology, cognitive linguistics, conversation analysis, corpus linguistics and social semiotics), the chapter outlines the various ways in which language, texts and contexts can be connected and the methods that can be used for their study. The Introduction provides an overview of the structure of the book, which moves from text-centred explorations of language, text and context through to more sociocultural concerns
