  • New edition of a classic text in medieval history, written by one of the leading scholars on heresy.
  • Argues controversially that the persecution of minority groups - Jews, lepers, heretics - was part of a pattern whereby Europe became, as it has remained, a persecuting society.
  • Extends the original argument with a new final chapter.
  • Considers the impact of a generation's research and addresses criticisms of the first edition.
  • Includes a new preface and critical biography.
