This collection of essays
in two volumes explores patterns of medieval society and culture,
spanning from the close of the late antique period to the beginnings of
the Renaissance. In the first volume, the articles unravel the
complexities of authority and community, and then turn to the multiple
rubrics of behavior which bound and defined medieval societies. Volume
1 thus ends with a discussion of morality, from models of civic virtue
(and vice) to Christian prescriptions and prohibitions. Volume 2
continues with analyses of forms of devotion, both popular movements
and those practices and ceremonies limited to elite groups. The
exploration of medieval paradigms comes to a close with a group of
essays which follow the medieval patterns well past the Middle Ages,
even into the present.
