This book compares the cultures of the different social groups
living in the Low Countries in the early Middle Ages. Clergy,
nobility, peasants and townsmen greatly varied in their attitudes
to labor, property, violence, and the handling and showing of
emotions. Kunzel explores how these social groups looked at
themselves as a group, and how they looked at the other groups.
Image and self-image could differ radically. The results of this
research are specified and tested in four case studies on the
interaction between group cultures, focusing respectively on the
influence of oral and written traditions on a literary work,
rituals as a means of conflict management in weakly centralized
societies, stories as an expression of an urban group mentality,
and beliefs on death and the afterlife.
