Autorentext
Lars Kjær is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the New College of the Humanities. His previous publications include, as co-editor, a special volume of the Journal of Medieval History entitled 'Feasts and Gifts of Food in Medieval Europe: Ritualised Constructions of Hierarchy, Identity and Community' (2011).

Klappentext

This interdisciplinary study explores how classical ideals of generosity influenced the writing and practice of gift giving in medieval Europe. Focusing on classical texts, such as those by Seneca the Younger and Cicero, Lars Kjaer reveals how historians have underestimated the influence of classical literature and philosophy on medieval culture.
