Love and Marriage in the Middle Ages (Paperback)

Preeminent medieval scholar, George Duby, argues that the structure of sexual relationships took its cue from the family and from feudalism - both bastions of masculinity - as he reveals the role of women, what they represent, and what they were in the Middle Ages. Written in Duby's characteristically nuanced and powerful style, this collection is an ideal entr e into Duby's thinking about marriage and the diversities of love, spousal decorum, family structure, and their cultural context in bodily and spiritual values. "Love and marriage in the Middle Ages" is intended for students in social and cultural history, medieval and early modern history, and women's studies, as well as those interested in the nature of social life in the Middle Ages.
