Download or read book Outlaws in Medieval and Early Modern England written by Paul Dalton and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some notable exceptions the subject of outlawry in medieval and early modern English history has attracted relatively little scholarly attention. This volume helps to address this significant gap in scholarship, and encourage further study of the subject, by presenting a series of innovative essays, based on original research and covering an extensive period of time. It focuses attention on the importance and diversity of people who crossed the boundary between legal and illegal activities and enterprise, but who have so far received uneven coverage from scholars. The essays have been specially commissioned by the editors from an experienced group of international scholars, giving the collection a strong inner coherence, enabling key themes to emerge clearly.
