The Origins <strong>of</strong> European Dissent<br />

R.I. Moore<br />

argues that heresy had less to do with faith than with the changing world <strong>of</strong> the time. A reprint <strong>of</strong> the corrected<br />

edition first published in 1985.<br />

(MART 30) 322 pp / 6 x 9 / 1994<br />

Fables<br />

Marie de France<br />

Edited and translated by Harriet Spiegel<br />

Comprising the 103 tales that form the earliest vernacular collection <strong>of</strong> fables from western Europe, this edition<br />

captures the fresh and lively tone <strong>of</strong> Marie de France’s text. This is a reprint <strong>of</strong> the first edition published in 1987.<br />

‘Spiegel provides here a translation which captures admirably the liveliness <strong>of</strong> Marie’s imagination. As a<br />

tribute to [Marie’s] spirit one could not ask for better.’<br />

The Birth <strong>of</strong> Popular Heresy<br />

R.I. Moore<br />

Until the publication <strong>of</strong> The Birth <strong>of</strong> Popular Heresy, little was known about the many ordinary men and women<br />

who dissented from orthodox Christianity in the middle ages. Moore analyses the development <strong>of</strong> popular<br />

heresy using edited collections <strong>of</strong> letters, chronicles, and sermons written, in the main, by clerics and other<br />

highly placed church <strong>of</strong>ficials during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. A reprint <strong>of</strong> the 1975 first edition.<br />

(MART 33) 166 pp / 6 x 9 / 1995<br />

Feudalism<br />

F.L. Gansh<strong>of</strong><br />

Translated by Philip Grierson<br />

A reprint <strong>of</strong> the third edition, published in 1964.<br />

‘Historians have come to realize that they possess in this book a survey <strong>of</strong> the essential feudal order which<br />

in breadth <strong>of</strong> view, wealth <strong>of</strong> learning, and sureness <strong>of</strong> judgment is a model among works <strong>of</strong> its scale … It<br />

is a tribute to Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Gansh<strong>of</strong>’s skill as a writer that the reader is never conscious <strong>of</strong> a break in continuity<br />

as they survey passes from the obscurities <strong>of</strong> the Dark Ages, where the origins <strong>of</strong> feudalism lie, to the highly<br />

developed organization <strong>of</strong> the twelfth century.’<br />

From the Foreword<br />

‘Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Gansh<strong>of</strong>’s book answers the prayer <strong>of</strong> every teacher and student <strong>of</strong> medieval history for a lucid,<br />

concise, and authoritative exposition <strong>of</strong> feudal institutions.’<br />

Arthurian Chronicles<br />

Wace and Layamon<br />

Translated by Eugene Mason with an introduction by Gwyn Jones<br />

The spread <strong>of</strong> the Arthurian legend during the course <strong>of</strong> the twelfth century is one <strong>of</strong> the most remarkable<br />

phenomena in literary history. In this English language prose translation <strong>of</strong> the Wace and Layamon Arthurian<br />

poems, the folk-tale ferocity <strong>of</strong> Arthur is made as exciting to the readers as to the poets who contributed<br />

so much to Arthur’s legend. A reprint <strong>of</strong> the 1962 edition.<br />

(MART 35) 282 pp / 6 x 9 / 1996<br />
