The Plow, the Pen and the Sword (eBook, ePUB)

Images and Self-Images of Medieval People in the Low Countries

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the Early Middle Ages, clergy, nobility, peasants and townspeople in the Low Countries showed greatly varying attitudes to labor, property, violence, social inequality, religion and emotions. This book analyzes and compares these different group attitudes, which resulted in strikingly contrasting self-images and images of other groups.
