Controlling Misbehavior in England, 1370-1600
ISBN: 9780521894043 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This trail-breaking study of how English people defined and attempted to control misbehavior opens up little-known sources and new research methods, challenges many historical assumptions and sheds light on the transition from early medieval to early modern patterns.
