In medieval Europe, the word fama denoted both talk (what was commonly said about a person or event) and an individuals ensuing reputation (ones fama). Although talk by others was no doubt often feared, it was also valued and even cultivated as a vehicle for shaping ones status. People had to think about how to manage their fama, which played an essential role in the medieval culture of appearances.At the same time, however, institutions such as law courts and the church, alarmed by the power of talk, sought increasingly to regulate it. Christian moral discourse, literary and visual representation, juristic manuals, and court records reflected concern about talk. This books authors consider how talk was created and entered into memory. They address such topics as famas relation to secular law and the preoccupations of the church, its impact on womens lives, and its capacity to shape the concept of literary authorship.
