Eminent French social historian Georges Duby identifies the twelfth century as a crucial turning point in the development of the institution of marriage in Western civilization. His study of medieval marriage is a worthy successor to the exploration of social attitudes begun by Philippe Aries and continued by Fernand Braudel.
Georges Duby (1919-1996), was a member of the Académie Française, and Professor of Medieval History at the Collège de France. Elborg Forster has translated numerous historical studies from French and German, including Louis Pasteur, Sugar and Slavery, Family and Race: The Letters and Diary of Pierre Dessalles, Planter in Martinique, 1808-1856, and Nylon and Bombs: DuPont and the March of Modern America, also available from Johns Hopkins.
