SUMMARY:Rostovtzeff Lecture Series: As If: Fiction\, Make-Believe\, and the Legal World of Early Medieval Francia\, 5th-9th Centuries AD

DESCRIPTION:The legal framework for slavery was long thought by histor
 ians to have been carried over from the ancient world long after it ha
 d ceased to hold any relevance to the ways early medieval power and de
 pendence (in their own ways brutal\, but different) were exercised or 
 experienced. This is a key example of a field in which legal represent
 ations remained effective precisely because they allowed – indeed\, 
 demanded\, in order to be discussed in legal terms at all – a radica
 l reinterpretation of reality\, in which lords of tenants might take o
 n the roles of masters of slaves along Roman lines.
