Violence permeated much of social life across the vast geographical
space of the European, American, Asian and Islamic lands and
through the broad sweep of what is often termed the Middle
Millennium (roughly 500 to 1500). Focusing on four contexts in
which violence occurred across this huge area, the contributors to
this volume explore the formation of centralised polities through
war and conquest; institution building and ideological expression
by these same polities; control of extensive trade networks; and
the emergence and dominance of religious ecumenes. Attention is
also given to the idea of how theories of violence are relevant to
the specific historical circumstances discussed in the volume's
chapters. A final section on the depiction of violence, both visual
and literary, demonstrates the ubiquity of societal efforts to
confront meanings of violence during this longue duree.
