Opis

"Drawing on new historicist principles, this book examines literary and historical narratives, legal statutes and records, sermons, lyric poetry, and biblical exegesis circulating in England between the 11th and 16th centuries. Jones theorizes the figure of the outlaw in Medieval England and uncovers the legal, ethical, and social assumptions that underlie the practice of outlawry"--

Recenzje

"The author introduces readers to a number of medieval texts that most scholars have not considered to be outlaw narratives; in doing so, he successfully advances the study of outlawry." - The Medieval Review
