Publisher Synopsis
'... will be useful to anybody wanting to study violence and deviance in this period.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'It can be difficult to assess the success or failure of a volume composed of essays so divergent in their methodologies, interests, and aims. But as a collection committed to establishing both the variation and specific resonances of acts of violence visible between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, this book largely succeeds, and not only for its zealous adherence to its stated objective. ... readers with an interest in interdisciplinarity might take this work as an example of how scholars from a variety of fields might collaborate productively while stilI preserving the integrity and pleasure of their respective intellectual vistas.' Comitatus 'La preziosa introduzione del curatore ha il merito di sintetizzare gli aspetti emersi dalla ricerca, evidenziando moltissimi punti di interesse. ... La ricca appendice bibliografica che conclude il volume offre infine uno strumento utilissimo per tutti gli studiosi interessati ad affrontare nuove ricerche su questo tema.' ['The valuable introduction by the editor has the merit of summarizing aspects arising from the research and highlighting many points of interest. ... The rich bibliographical appendix at the end of the book provides an extremely useful tool for all scholars interested in taking on new research on this topic.'] Archivio Storico Italiano Read more...
