Beschreibung:
Daniel Lord Smail is Professor of History at Harvard University. He is the author of Imaginary Cartographies: Possession and Identity in Late Medieval Marseille and coeditor, with Thelma Fenster, of Fama: The Politics of Talk and Reputation in Medieval Europe, both from Cornell.
Smail shows that the courts were quickly adopted as a public stage on which litigants could take revenge on their enemies. Even as the new legal system served the interest of royal or communal authority, it also provided the consumers of justice with a way to broadcast their hatreds and social sanctions to a wider audience and negotiate their own community standing in the process. The emotions that had driven bloodfeuds and other forms of customary vengeance thus never went away, and instead were fully incorporated into the new procedures.
