This book offers a pioneering exploration of how early English societies understood and treated mental illness. Drawing on medical history, cultural anthropology, and medieval studies, it examines madness as both a medical condition and a phenomenon deeply rooted in religion, superstition, and community life. It uncovers healing rituals in monastic settings, symbolic representations of insanity in Old English texts, and the interplay between spiritual and physical interpretations of mental disturbance. Using sources rarely analysed in this way, the work reveals a world where mental illness could signify divine punishment, demonic possession, or natural imbalance. Accessible yet scholarly, it appeals to readers interested in history, psychology, and cultural theory, offering insights into the origins of psychiatric thought and the cultural frameworks that shaped perceptions of the mind. This groundbreaking study challenges assumptions and enriches understanding of mental health across time.
