"The admirable objectives and themes announced in Howe's introduction are met and illuminated. The malleable device of studying communities historically ways is done in model ways here." —Renaissance Quarterly"The essays in Visions of Community offer beautifully nuanced analyses of the ways in which various types of institutional and social identifications intersected and supplemented one another in the premodern period." —The Sixteenth Century Journal"Visions of Community in the Pre-Modern World is an enjoyable read." —HISTORY: Reviews of New Books"... Fascinating and provocative...." —Utopian Studies"The five contributors to this book reveal the inherent complexity and variety of communities in the pre-modern world. They offer an argument against sweeping generalizations about the ways in which humans form themselves into groups, and encourage further scholarly research into the ways in which communities are formed and shaped." —Ethical Perspectives
