Twelve papers explore sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, and emotions such as anger, horror, grief and joy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar in theme and method to the first, second and third volumes in the \u003ci\u003eDaily Living in the Anglo-Saxon World \u003c\/i\u003eseries, the collected articles\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eilluminate 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 urban planning, literary imagery and emotional attachment evident among the early medieval English peoples. Experienced senses and emotions are thus as central to understanding the inner and outer landscape of the pre-Conquest English as crafts, towns or water structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This book is an excellent resource for scholars who want to broaden the range of evidence they bring to a specific problem or issue...
