Beskrivning

In this collection of primary sources, Eugene Smelyansky highlights instances of persecution and violence, as well as those relatively rare but significant episodes of toleration, that impacted a broad spectrum of people who existed at the margins of medieval society: heretics, Jews and Muslims, the poor, the displaced and disabled, women, and those deemed sexually deviant. The volume also presents a more geographically diverse Middle Ages by including sources from Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Mediterranean.

Each document is preceded by a brief introduction and followed by questions for discussion, making The Intolerant Middle Ages an excellent entrance into the lives and struggles of medieval minorities.

Recensioner i media

"The book contains a large number of interesting documents and should prove convenient for teaching undergraduate courses on its particular thematic sections. It will be particularly useful for courses on gender and sexuality."- Lola Sharon Davidson, University of Technology Sydney (Parergon) "Smelyansky has chosen an excellent set of texts, including some that are unexpected and therefore especially interesting … The care with which Smelyansky treats his subjects, the persecutors and the persecuted, is admirable." - Deeana Copeland Klepper, Boston University (Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies)
