Incorporating tools borrowed from anthropology, the study of emotion, and modern social and literary theories, these studies balance the traditional literature available on medieval feuding with an exploration of other aspects of vengeance and culture in the Middle Ages. Aimed at scholars and graduate students within the broad field of medieval studies, incorporating the subfields of history, literature, and religious studies, this collection will also prove interesting to non-medievalists interested in the history of emotion, the justification of human conflict etc.
