What was the role of the Christian household in medieval Europe? Contributors to this volume of collected essays write from a number of disciplinary perspectives, examine socially diverse households, from different regions, in different periods. The volume both includes areas not often covered in English-language publications, such as Portugal and Croatia, and offers new approaches to more familiar material. It is divided into thematic sections. The first three explore how power, wealth, and the body were managed within the household and, in turn, helped to define the householdAes role in society and politics, with contributors using a range of legal, literary, and devotional texts. The fourth section locates the household in a wider economy of possessions by examining how material culture helped define spaces and relationships within households.
