Essays on medieval history inspired by, and engaging with, the work
of Jacques Le Goff. The essays in this volume arise from the
proceedings of a conference held in 1994 to celebrate the life and
work of the eminent French medievalist Jacques Le Goff. Set within
thematic sections -popular religion and heresy, the body, royalty
andits mystique, intellectuals in medieval society, and others
-many of the challenges raised by Le Goff are reassessed and
reapproached. There is an explicit historiographical focus in a
section on the reception and influence of Le Goff, with particular
reference to the Annales school of history with which he is
strongly identified; the volume also indicates the problems which
animate current research in medieval studies, especially in certain
areas of social and cultural history. MIRI RUBIN is Professor of
History, Queen Mary, University of London. Contributors: ALEXANDER
