It is the very paucity of historical evidence regarding medieval concepts of insanity, says Harper (communication studies, U. of Glasgow-Crighton) that has opened the door to the myriad studies of it, professional and amateur, in academic disciplines ranging from the history of psychiatry, literary criticism, and philosophy, to apparently communications. He delves beneath the official medieval view that the mad had lost divine guidance and turned away from God, to consider the context of the utterances about madness, and the individual voices speaking. He concludes that opinions were as varied in the Middle Ages as they are now. The text is double spaced. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
