Suspended Animation: Pain, Pleasure and Punishment in Medieval Culture

Suspended Animation: Pain, Pleasure and Punishment in Medieval Culture
By Robert Mills | Reaktion Books (2006) | 248 Pages | ISBN: 1861892608
PDF | English | 5.7 MB

"A provocative and insightful meditation on human pain as a shared obsession in medieval and modern culture. Mills writes as clearly as he thinks (the prose descriptions of the images that he examines are a special delight to read) and the one hundred color and halftone plates are finely reproduced. A fascinating and utterly credible protrayal of medieval culture." - A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
