Essays in Medieval Culture
Bringing together a collection of this distinguished medievalist's most important and controversial work, heretofore scattered and frequently inaccessible, this book constitutes both an appropriate introduction for students new to medieval studies and a convenient compendium for scholars established in the field. Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
