More about the book
Non-verbal communication in medieval society, particularly through gestures and looks, significantly influenced interactions more than spoken words. This study by medievalist Burrow explores this aspect across various narrative texts, including works by Chaucer, Malory, and Dante. Through analysis of ceremonies and literary examples, the book reveals how gestures conveyed meaning and shaped relationships in both public and private spheres during the medieval period.
