Moore's 1977 The origins of European Dissent proved to be a seminal work in medieval religious and social history. Here fellow medievalists from the US and Britain demonstrate the continued vitality of the approach he took and arguments he made, expand those into Italy, and broaden the discussion of religious dissent to encompass prosecution and the stereotyping of heresy. He himself offers afterthoughts on his treatise. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
