Whereas a sharp distinction between the public and the private might be appropriate to descriptions of contemporary society, such a dichotomy could not be projected back onto the Middle Ages. Focusing particularly on forms of lordship in late medieval Austria, Brunner found neither a "state" in the modern sense nor any distinction between the public and private spheres.Behind the apparent disorder of late medieval political life, however, Brunner discovered a coherent legal and constitutional order rooted in the the rights and obligations of noble lordship. In carefully reconstructing this order, Brunner's study weaves together social, legal, constitutional, and intellectual history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Otto BrunnerContributor: James Van Horn Melton (Edited and translated by), Howard Kaminsky (Edited and translated by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Middle Ages SeriesRelease Year: 1992 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
