Evidence for the survival of paganism in the medieval world. Many aspects of the pagan past continued to survive into the middle ages despite the introduction of Christianity influencing forms of behaviour and the whole mentalitéof the period. The essays collected in this stimulating volume seek to explore aspects of the way paganism mingled with Christian teaching to affect many different aspects of medieval society through a focus on such topics as archaeology the afterlife and sexuality scientific knowledge and visionary activity.
