Conflict in Medieval Europe: Changing Perspectives on Society and Culture

Conflict in Medieval Europe is a series of articles by several of the top scholars in the United States. Consistently with their most current work, conflict is defined broadly and inclusively, and the book concerns the prevention and settlement of dispute; the role of emotions related to conflict, such as fear, anger, or spite; the language and gesture by which conflict was articulated; other major phenomena of which conflict was an aspect-lordship, power, law, gender, and sexuality; and heuristic issues of access to these subjects through the written record.
