Reviews

Given's approach is new and provides an unassumingly theorised but nuanced account of inquisitorial activity and the sometimes unexpected, indeed unwanted, outcomes of the inquisitors' labours. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed Inquisition and Medieval Society. It is well-written and full of lively examples, and Given's three-pronged approach to the inquisition redresses some of the inadequacies of earlier top-down accounts. I find his use of various sociological theories fruitful, and appreciate such a historical monograph which . . . provides a model of the integration of theory and empirical research. Kathleen Troup, University of Waikato, Parergon. July 1999.


A well-written and fascinating analysis of the power structure (and the meaning of power) of the ecclesiastical inquisition in southern France. -Virginia Quarterly Review
