This compelling volume delves into the intricate customs surrounding dueling—a practice that revealed the era's complex codes of honor—and the peculiarities of the judicial system that governed such confrontations. Barrington's keen observations provide invaluable insights into the societal dynamics of his time, making this work essential for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Discover the nuances of a society at a crossroads, where personal honor clashed with emerging legal frameworks, illuminating the path to modernity.
