A collection of previously published essays on the collective activities of medieval lay people and the solidarities that underlay them. The author's thesis is that the capacity of the medieval laity for rational and independent thought has too often been underestimated by those who see the middle ages through the eyes of the clergy and academics of the time. Among the topics in 16 essays: social mentalities and the case of medieval skepticism; Magna Carta 1297 and the legal use of literacy; and English towns of the eleventh century in a European context.
