Book Description:

This book works from the premise that the tremendous diversity of Old English medical texts requires an equally diverse range of interpretative methodologies. Taking a case study approach, it offers close readings tailored to individual remedies, drawing from biology, rhetoric, archaeology, folkloristics and disability studies.
