The essays in Living Dangerously, written by some of the leading
scholars in the fields of history and literature, examine the lives
of those who lived on the margins of medieval and early modern
European society. While some essays explore obvious marginalized
classes, such as criminals, gypsies, and prostitutes, others
challenge traditional understandings of the margin by showing that
female mystics, speculators in the Dutch mercantile empire, and
writers of satire, for example, could fall into the margins. These
essays reveal the symbiotic relationship that exists between the
marginalized and the social establishment: the dominant culture
needs its margins. This well-written and lively collection covers a
wide geographical area, including England, Spain, Germany, Italy,
France, and the Netherlands, making it an ideal resource for a
broad range of courses in European history and literature.
Contributors: Barbara A. Hanawalt, Richard Firth Green, Vickie
Ziegler, Dyan Elliott, Anne J. Cruz, Ian Frederick Moulton, and
Mary Lindemann.
