Edited by Georges Duby and drawing on contributions from leading historians, it chronicles the evolution of private space, the boundaries between public and private identity, and the deeply personal rituals that shaped medieval society from the early Middle Ages through the thirteenth century. With scholarly authority and vivid detail, the work presents the home, the body, the family, and the conscience as contested territories where individuals carved out a sense of self amid the overwhelming forces of church, feudal obligation, and communal life. The tone is rigorously academic yet richly descriptive, making complex historical arguments accessible through carefully chosen evidence drawn from literature, art, architecture, and legal records. A cornerstone of the celebrated five-volume series published under the general editorship of Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby, this volume remains an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the hidden interior world of the medieval centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887832215771,"sku":"2026200007443-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/56d3345c-9d63-47b6-b60d-9bfdb628201f.png?v=1781746732","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007443-secondhand-a-history-of-private-life-ii-revelations-of-the-medieval-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
