Medieval Callings (Paperback, 2nd ed.)

These essays by eleven internationally renowned historians present nuanced profiles of the major social and professional groups--the callings-of the Middle Ages.
The contributors focus on attitudes of medieval men and women toward their own society. Through a variety of techniques, from a reading of the "Song of Roland" to a reading of administrative records, they identify characteristic viewpoints of members of the fighting class, the clergy, and the peasantry. Along with vivid descriptions of what life was like for warrior knights, monks, high churchmen, criminals, lepers, shepherds, and prostitutes, this innovative approach offers a valuable new perspective on the complex social dynamics of feudal Europe.
"Very useful discussions of texts, both learned and literary."--Christopher Dyer, "Times Literary Supplement"
