Reviews
Hill briefly addresses all aspects relevant to the excommunication, as can be seen from the register, and evaluates various sources for this. Herein lies the value of the book. * Katharina Mersch, sehepunkte *
Felicity Hill's monograph on the after-effects of excommunication is a welcome addition to current scholarship on, among other topics, the practical application of canon law, political communication, and social relationships in the Middle Ages. Moreover, it is a reminder of the interpretive opportunities afforded by the meticulous analysis of a legal concept that permeated all levels of society...The author's lucid methodology provides a valuable framework for the analysis of such cases through the lens of excommunication. The book will prove vital as a comparative tool for future studies on excommunication in other periods and geographic areas, as well as other legal concepts and modes of mass communication. * Joshua Rice, Parliamentary History Yearbook Trust *
