Description

Penance, confession and their texts (penitential and confessors' manuals) are important topics for an understanding of the Middle Ages in relation to a wide range of issues, from medieval social thought to Chaucer's background. The essays collected here treat a variety of topics, including the frequency and character of early-medieval penance, the "summae" and manuals for confessors and the ways in which these texts (written for males by males) constructed women as sexual in nature, William of Auvergne's remarkable writing on penance, and the importance of confessors' manuals for demographic history. John Baldwin's study, "From the Ordeal to Confession", delivered as a Quodlibet lecture, traces the appearance in French romances of the themes of a penitent's contrition, the priest's job in listening, and the application of the spiritual medicine of "conseil" and penitence.
