The Formation of a Persecuting Society by Robert I Moore
In this new edition of a classic in medieval history, R.I. Moore extends his original conception of the "persecuting society" with a new, final chapter, a new preface and critical bibliography. Addressing criticisms of the first edition, he considers the impact of a generation's research and refines his argument accordingly.
"One of the most influential and controversial books of medieval history of the last 20 years.. The relevance of its argument today is uncanny." The Guardian
Praise for the first edition:
"A brilliant account of medieval Europe...it is a pleasure to read an account that is so obviously of importance for our own societies, yet is conceived in a full international context." Times Higher Education Supplement
"A fundamental work of historical sociology, as important in its way as the works of Georges Duby and Mark Bloch...a courageous and wide-ranging thesis." M. T. Clanchy, Times Literary Supplement
