| Abstract | The session is part of three sessions for the Daily Life Strand that deal with different aspects of pleasures in medieval life and their representation. The papers in this one concentrate on the complex variety of categorisation, evaluation, and presentation of pleasure and joy in the contexts of writing and reading – in the religious as well as in the secular sphere. |
