Crime is a matter of interpretation, and never was this truer than
in he Middle Ages, when societies faced with new ideas and
pressures were continually forced to rethink what a crime was --
and what was a crime. This collection undertakes a thorough
exploration of shifting definitions of crime and changing attitudes
toward social control in medieval Europe.
These essays reveal how various forces in medieval society
interacted and competed in interpreting and influencing mechanisms
for social control. Drawing on a wide range of historical and
literary sources -- legal treatises, court cases, statutes, poems,
romances, and comic tales -- the contributors consider topics
including fear of crime, rape and violence against women, revenge
and condemnations of crime, learned dispute about crime and social
control, and legal and political struggles over hunting rights.
