Descriere
Medieval felons could take sanctuary from prosecution in any church, but far from static refuge, sanctuary staged dynamic action, even violence. While sanctuary has usually been analyzed as part of legal history, in Uncertain Refuge Elizabeth Allen explores the symbolic consequences of sanctuary seeking in English literary works.
