Blasphemy - Impious Speech in West From Seventeenth to Nineteenth Century

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Zusammenfassung

The book takes us on a journey through the Christian West with braggarts, craftsmen, soldiers, sailors, and their coarse, forbidden exchanges. More than simply an exhaustive inventory of the uses of and bans on blasphemy, the book is a lively analysis of the relationship between the blasphemer, the machinery of language, and that of repression.
