Overview
Social network analysis is revolutionizing our understanding of business, politics, public health, and now history. In this book, the first collection of network analysis case studies dedicated to the study of the European Middle Ages, fourteen scholars present their ground-breaking research on subjects as varied as saints’ lives, royal households, landholding society, ecclesiastical structures, town life, and financial dealings. Spanning the chronological breadth of the medieval era, this collection is international in both its subject matter and its scholarship. With leading researchers from across Europe, this book announces the arrival of an exciting new subdiscipline in Medieval Studies.Author Bio
