DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In premodern Europe, patriarchy, honour, and violence were inextricable from masculinity. The articles in this volume interweave varied historical sources, social contexts, interpretative frames, and scholarly interpretations to provide a series of overlapping, reinforcing, and occasionally contradictory perspectives on premodern men and their quest for masculine identity and honour.

In doing so, they provide a rich foundation for understanding the complexities of premodern masculinities."--.
