In 11 interrelated essays, including three previously unpublished works, Hanawalt explores the roles that community, family and society played in maintaining social control in medieval England. Focusing on gender, criminal behaviour, law enforcement, village arbitration and cultural rituals on inclusion and exclusion, the volume reflects scholarship on medieval legal history, cultural history and women's cultural studies. The book is intended for scholars, undergraduates and graduates in courses on British history, medieval history, medieval legal history and women's cultural studies.
