Om bogen

This volume contains the proceedings from the conference ”Law and Private Life in the Middle Ages” which was held at the Carlsberg Academy in May 2009 in Copenhagen..

An international group of scholars presents their work on a wide range of aspects of the impact of law upon the private life of individuals and communities in medieval societies. Offering a collection of essays that combine the approaches of several historical disciplines within the frame of legal history, the anthology covers a multitude of topics ranging from sexuality, gender, identity formation, marriage, age groups, and domestic violence, to categories of citizens in urban communities, the practice of law courts, and the place of the laity within canon law.

This volume will be of interests to students and scholars working with in European legal culture and cultural, social, and economic history of the Middle Ages and the early modern period.

The publication of this volume is funded by The Carlsberg Foundation.
