Dyan Elliott

The Corrupter of Boys

Sodomy, Scandal, and the Medieval Clergy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dyan Elliott demonstrates how scandal-averse policies in conjunction with the requirement of clerical celibacy resulted in the widespread sexual abuse of boys from late antiquity through the later Middle Ages, and argues that the same clerical prerogatives and strategies for the cover-up of abuse remain in place today.
