Violence in early modern Europe
by Julius R. Ruff
- 1 Want to read
"Julius Ruff summarizes a huge body of research and provides readers with a clear, accessible, and engaging introduction to the topic of violence in early modern Europe. His book, enriched with illustrations, underlines the fact that modern preoccupations with the problem of violence are not unique, and that late medieval and early modern European societies produced levels of violence that may have exceeded those in the most violent modern inner-city neighborhoods.
Julius Ruff examines the role of the emerging state in controlling violence; the roots and forms of the period's widespread interpersonal violence; violence and its impact on women; and rioting. His book will be of great value to students of European history, criminal justice sciences, and anthropology."--BOOK JACKET.
