Love and Marriage in the Middle Ages cover

In this volume, now available in paperback, Georges Duby addresses the themes of love and marriage in the middle ages and shows that the structure of sexual relationships took its cue from the family and from feudalism.

'Georges Duby is one of the brightest stars in that sparkling galaxy of French historians which has lit up the historical writing of the later 20th century ... the book contains short expositions of many of his most brilliant insights.' The Guardian

'There is little doubt that Duby is one of the most interesting and original historians at work in Europe today. This book is up to his usual high standards of scholarship, penetration and readability.' Peter Burke, University of Cambridge

'Duby's vision is fascinating [and] compelling.' Emma Hawkes, University of Western Australia

'It is difficult to think of any other historian who has been surrounded by so much respect and esteem.' Douglas Johnson, The Guardian
