| Summary |
Disputes, discord and reconciliation were fundamental parts of the fabric of communal living in early modern Europe. This edited volume presents essays on the cultural codes of conflict and its resolution in this period under three broad themes: peace-making as practice; the nature of mediation and arbitration; and the role of criminal law in conflicts. Together they demonstrate the importance of studying disputes and their attempted resolution in developing broader understandings of community in the early modern period |
