Mental (Dis)order in the Late Middle Ages sketches the boundaries between mental, social and physical order and various states of disorder - unexpected mood swings, fury, melancholy, stress, insomnia, and demonic influence - and focuses on the interaction between lay and elite cultures.

This festschrift in Richard Kaeuper's honor brings together scholars from across disciplines to engage with three salient concerns of medieval society - knightly prowess and violence, lay and religious piety, and public order and government - from a variety of perspectives.
