Lies, Slander and Obscenity in Medieval English Literature: Pastoral Rhetoric and the Deviant Speaker (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature) Book

Drawing on manuscript sources, Pastoral Rhetoric and the Deviant Speaker examines how the medieval clergy developed the authority and persuasive force to attempt to govern the day-to-day speech of Western Christians.
