This exceptionally readable book describes how medieval men and women perceived their world, and how their vision of it colored their ideas about natural and supernatural occurrences and their attitudes about land and property, government, the role of women, crime, lawlessness, and outlaws.
I didn't realize the subtitle is more relevant the the primary title here. I was expecting the book to focus on vision/visions, but the book is actually about "vision" in the very broad sense of "How did medieval people view kings/women/monks/etc."
