Emotion, Violence, Vengeance and Law in the Middle Ages: Essays in Honour of William Ian Miller: Medieval Law and Its Practice, cartea 24

Kate Gilbert, Stephen D. White

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mai 2018

Contributions to this Festschrift for the renowned American legal and literary scholar William Ian Miller reflect the extraordinary intellectual range of the honorand, who is equally at home discussing legal history, Icelandic sagas, English literature, anger and violence, and contemporary popular culture. Professor Miller's colleagues and former students, including distinguished academic lawyers, historians, and literary scholars from the United States, Canada, and Europe, break important new ground by bringing little-known sources to a wider audience and by shedding new light on familiar sources through innovative modes of analysis.
Contributors are Stuart Airlie, Theodore M. Andersson, Nora Bartlett, Robert Bartlett, Jordan Corrente Beck, Carol J. Clover, Lauren DesRosiers, William Eves, John Hudson, Elizabeth Papp Kamali, Kimberley-Joy Knight, Simon MacLean, M.W. McHaffie, Eva Miller, Hans Jacob Orning, Jamie Page, Susanne Pohl-Zucker, Amanda Strick, Helle Vogt, Mark D. West, and Stephen D. White.

Recenzii

"The lineup in this invigorating Festschrift is a starry one. Perhaps more important, it seems genuinely to reﬂect the ways in which William Ian Miller has inspired a great range of scholars of legal history, Icelandic sagas, and violence, as well as emotions more broadly. The authors have done an effective job of pulling together a volume with intellectual coherence. Though there is not space here to discuss each contribution, I can attest that all are insightful and of high quality. This is a rewarding volume: a particular strength is to show how unexpected sources can shed light on more well worked topics. [...] This is a stimulating volume that resonates with a number of crucial themes for medievalists". Hannah Skoda, in Speculum, 95 (3), 2020.
