Conflict is defined here broadly and inclusively as an element of
social life and social relations. Its study encompasses the law,
not just disputes concerning property, but wider issues of
criminality, coercion and violence, status, sex, sexuality and
gender, as well as the phases and manifestations of conflict and
the behaviors brought to bear on it. It engages, too, with the
nature of the transformation spanning the Carolingian period, and
its implications for the meanings of power, violence, and peace.
Conflict in Medieval Europe represents the 'American school' of the
study of medieval conflict and social order. Framed by two
substantial historiographical and conceptual surveys of the field,
it brings together two generations of scholars: the pioneers, who
continue to expand the research agenda; and younger colleagues, who
represent the best emerging work on this subject. The book
therefore both marks the trajectory of conflict studies in the
United States and presents a set of original, highly individual
contributions across a shifting conceptual range, indicative of a
major transition in the field.
