Editorial Reviews
Review
“Mia Korpiola has edited an excellent collection concerning the local histories and broad themes of the legal aspects of marriage. This collection is a welcome addition to recent scholarship, which has focused not simply on discussions of matrimonial law in theory but also in practice. Korpiola has bridged the gap that exists in the accounts of medieval marriage between works examining Christendom as a whole and histories providing focused case studies of particular areas for the benefit of a local readership…”
