The Duel in Early Modern England: Civility, Politeness and Honour

The Duel in Early Modern England: Civility, Politeness and Honour By Markku Peltonen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2003 | 372 Pages | ISBN: 0521820626 | PDF | 2 MB


Arguments about the practice of the duel in early modern England were widespread. Markku Peltonen, the distinguished intellectual historian, examines the debate, and reveals how the moral and ideological status of duelling was considered within a much broader cultural context of courtesy, civility and politeness. Understanding the duel involves knowing crucial issues in the cultural and ideological history of Stuart England. Peltonen's wide-ranging study engages the attention of a significant audience of historians and cultural and literary scholars.
