A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

How does imprisonment acquire meaning in particular times and places? This book looks at the importance of religious thought on ideas of imprisonment in the European Middle Ages by examining the images and ideas of imprisonment found in a diverse range of medieval religious contexts: the monastic world, the world of the crusades, the practices of the inquisitions, the world of preaching and example, and the medieval cult of saints. Together these contexts show that imprisonment provided medieval Christians with a useful way of articulating their place in the earthly world and in eternity.
