This book provides a needed overview of the scholarship on medieval
public culture and popular movements such as the Peace of God,
heresy, and the crusades and illustrates how a changing sense of
the populus, the importance of publics and public opinion and
public spheres was influential in the evolution of medieval
cultures. Public opinion did play an important role, even in the
Middle Ages; it did not wait until the era of modern history to do
so. Using modern research on such aspects of culture as textual
communities, large and small publics, cults, crowds, rumor,
malediction, gossip, dispute resolution and the European popular
revolution, the author focuses on the Peace of God movement, the
era of Church reform in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the rise
and combat of heresy, the crusades, and the works of
fourteenth-century political thinkers such as Marsiglio of Padua
regarding the role of the populus as the basis for the analysis.
The pattern of changes reflected in this study argues that just as
in the modern world the simplistic idea of "the public " was a
phantom. Instead there were publics large and small that were
influential in shaping the cultures of the era under review.
