Image of the Medieval Peasant as Alien and Exemplarary (Figurae: Reading Mediaeval Culture)

by PaulH.Freedman (Author)

Synopsis

This book examines the conflicting images of peasants from the post-Carolingian period to the German Peasants' War-how they were represented as subhuman yet as close to God; as contemptible yet as exemplary Christians-and how such views formed the basis for social movements.
