Produktbeschreibung
Following from themes explored during the 2005 International Medieval Congress on a ~Youth and Agea (TM), this interdisciplinary volume focuses upon social, cultural and biological aspects of being young and old in the medieval north. The contributors progress definitions of young and old in the north, taking into account changing mentalities as a result of political and cultural transformations such as the Christianisation of the north. This book invites discourse on youth and age amongst medieval archaeologists, historians, and philologists, while introducing particularities of medieval research to sociologists and gerontologists working within other periods and areas. The contributors, representing both established and up-and-coming scholars in the field, showcase the diverse issues that surround interdisciplinary studies of youth and age. Contributors are Christina Lee, Lotta Mejsholm, Berit J. Sellevold, Anna Hansen, Bernadine McCreesh, Joanna A. SkA3rzewska, Nic Percivall, Carolyne Larrington, Philadelphia Ricketts, Jordi SAnchez-MartA-, JA3n ViAar SigurAsson, Shannon Lewis-Simpson, Armann Jakobsson, and Yelena Sesselja HelgadA3ttir Yershova
