The Ages of Man

- A Study in Medieval Writing and Thought

About The Ages of Man

Scholars in Medieval Europe divided human life into three, four, six or seven "ages of man" and so related it to the larger orders of nature and history. Burrows examines the expression and manifestation of these ideas in many medieval sources and considers the ways in which they entered into the medieval writer's assessment of human behaviour.
