Description

Book Synopsis
The common understanding is that honour belongs to a bygone era, whereas civil society belongs to the future and modern society. Heikki Lempa argues that honour was not gone or even in decline between 1700 and 1914, and that civil society was not new but had long roots that stretched into the Middle Ages.
