Violence, Trauma, and Memory: Responses to War in the Late Medieval and Early Modern World

Violence, Trauma, and Memory: Responses to War in the Late Medieval and Early Modern World brings together eight essays that examine medieval and early modern violence and warfare in France, the Hispanic World, and the Dutch Republic through the lens of trauma studies and memory studies. By focusing on warfare, these essays by historians, literary specialists, and historians of visual culture demonstrate how individuals and groups living with the ＂ungraspable＂ outcomes of wartime violence grappled with processing and remembering (both culturally and politically) the trauma of war.
