A Tender Age: Cultural Anxieties over the Child in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries

William F. MacLehose works on the connections between medical, natural philosophical, and religious thought in Western Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. His research emphasizes the transformations within medical knowledge as the medieval west rediscovered the Hippocratic-Galenic traditions via the Arabic world. His primary interest lies in the importance of childhood as a source of interest and concern within medieval society as reflected in the fields of embryology, obstetrics, and pediatrics.Tallis, Raymond is the author of 'A Tender Age: Cultural Anxieties over the Child in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries', published 2008 under ISBN 9780231142564 and ISBN 0231142560.
