Rezension

'A worthwhile volume that needs to be reckoned with in discussions of how violence means in medieval society.'

- Christine M. Rose (Arthuriana)

'Collections like 'A Great Effusion of Blood?' help us to better understand the historical and often inextricably tragic connections between violence and the state, between violence and the law, and between violence and moral relations.'

- Eileen A. Joy (The Sixteenth Century Journal)

'A timely collection of important research on very different aspects of medieval violence.'

- Dianne Hall (Parergon)

'What we learn from a volume as diverse as 'A Great Effusion of Blood'? is not only the ubiquity of violence in the Middle Ages but its varied purposes and meaning.'

- Scott L. Waugh (University of Toronto Quarterly)
