Conclusion."Urbanus magnus is a twelfth-century poem of almost 3,000 lines which comprehensively surveys the day-to-day life of medieval society, including issues such as moral behaviour, friendship, marriage, hospitality, table manners, and diet. Currently, it is a neglected source for the social and cultural history of daily life in medieval England, but by incorporating modern ideas of disgust and taboo, and merging anthropology, sociology, and archaeology with history, this book aims to bring it to the fore, and to show that medieval people did have standards of behaviour. Although they may seem remote to modern 'civilised' people, there is both continuity and change in human behaviour throughout the centuries"--Provided by publisher.Interpersonal relationsEnglandHistoryTo 1500SourcesEnglandSocial life and customs1066-1485SourcesEnglandMoral conditionsSourcesElectronic books.Interpersonal relationsHistory390.0942/09021Whelan Fiona E(Fiona Elizabeth),1986-,934439MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910159452003321The making of manners and morals in twelfth-century England2104304UNINA
