- Summary:
- Review: "In this book, first published in 1987 and now widely regarded as a classic in medieval history, R.I. Moore argues that the coincidences in the treatment of minority groups cannot be explained independently, and that all are part of a pattern of persecution which now appeared for the first time to make Europe become as it has remained, a persecuting society. In this new edition, R.I. Moore updates and extends his original arguments with a new chapter "A Persecuting Society". Here and in a new preface and critical bibliography he considers the impact of a generation's research and refines his conception of the "persecuting society" accordingly, addressing criticism of first edition."--Provided by publisher.
