Synopsis

In eleven interrelated essays, including three previously unpublished works, Hanawalt explores the roles that community, family and society played in maintaining social control in Medieval England.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 behavior, law enforcement, village arbitration, and cultural rituals on inclusion and exclusion, Of Good and Ill Repute reflects the most current scholarship on medieval legal history, cultural history, and women's cultural studies.
