This comprehensive book delves into the intricate understanding of hearing voices and seeing visions within the cultural, literary, and intellectual realms of the medieval and early modern periods. During the Middle Ages, these experiences were interpreted through frameworks that granted visionaries and voice-hearers spiritual knowledge, allowing them to occupy socially desired yet feared roles. Voice-hearing and visionary experiences became powerful sources of creative inspiration in imaginative literature, often serving as the focal point of writers' exploration of inner spiritual lives.
As the early modern period unfolded, cultural shifts prompted a reevaluation of these experiences. This collection of essays, spanning the period from 1100 to 1700, presents diverse and novel insights into a complex and contentious category of human experience. By examining literary and spiritual works in conjunction with scientific and medical writings, natural philosophy, and theology, as well as the visual arts, the volume offers a fresh perspective on the subject. By integrating the insights and methodologies of the arts and humanities with contemporary bio-medical perspectives, the book makes a timely intervention within the broader realm of the medical humanities.
