Pain, Penance, and Protest: Peine Forte et Dure in Medieval England
ISBN: 9781316512388 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 459 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In medieval England, a defendant who refused to plead to a criminal indictment was sentenced to pressing with weights as a coercive measure. Using peine forte et dure ('strong and hard punishment') as a lens through which to analyse the law and its relationship with Christianity, Butler asks: where do we draw the line between punishment and penance? And, how can pain function as a vehicle for redemption within the common law? Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this book embraces both law and literature. When Christ is on trial before Herod, he refused to plead, his silence signalling...

Forensic Medicine and Death Investigation in Medieval England
ISBN: 9781138809819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. England has traditionally been understood as a latecomer to the use of forensic medicine in death investigation, lagging nearly two-hundred years behind other European authorities. Using the coroner's inquest as a lens, this book hopes to offer a fresh perspective on the process of death investigation in medieval England. The central premise of this book is that medical practitioners did participate in death investigation although not in every inquest, or even most, and not necessarily in those investigations where we today would deem their advice most pertinent. The medieval relationship...
