Abstract

252 Reviews seeking justice. Charles W. Connell charts the failure of English medievalism to provide real change for the poor, despite some early political potential. Eliza Buhrer makes a useful contribution to opening up a wider debate about the shift from a theological notion of caritas to a modern conception of `charity'. Finally, Rosemarie McGerr and Tiffany Beechy provide in-depth studies of texts that will be of interest to specialists. In addition to the overall framing of the collection, a minor quibble concerns inconsistencies in translation of quotations.
