Davis, Isabel / Miriam Muller, Sarah Rees Jones (eds.); - Love, marriage, and family ties in the later middle ages.

Title: Love, marriage, and family ties in the later middle ages.
Description: Turnhout, Brepols, Brepols, 2003. Original hardcover. xii,340 pp.; ills.; 24.5 cm. "International Medieval Research, Volume 11". Text in English. - (corners sl. bumped) Although very good, see picture. 'This volume addresses the current fashion for research on the family and domesticity in the past. It draws together work from various disciplines - historical, art-historical and literary - with their very different source materials and from a broad geographical area, including some countries - such as Croatia and Poland - which are not usually considered in standard text books on the medieval family. This volume considers the various affective relationships within and around the family and the manner in which those relationships were regulated and ritualized in more public arenas. Despite their disparate approaches and geographical spread, these essays share many thematic concerns; the ideologies which structured gender roles, inheritance rights, incest law and the ethics of domestic violence, for example, are all considered here. This collection originates from the Leeds IMC in 2001 when the special strand was entitled Domus and Familia and attracted huge participation. This book aims to reflect that richness and variety whilst contributing to an expanding area of historical enquiry.'. Gewicht/Weight: 780 grs.
