Formation of a Persecuting Society. Authority and Deviance in Western Europe 950-1250, Paperback/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.
