- Title
Ecclesiastical Reform in Historiographical Context[I would li].
- Authors
Melve, Leidulf
- Abstract
The article initially discusses recent approaches to ecclesiastical reform and the Investiture Contest. In particular, it discusses the extent to which recent scholarship's concern with 'power,' 'local units,' 'social aspects,' 'discourse,' and 'gender' has undermined earlier master narratives - accentuating as these did the unity of reform. The last part of the article argues for the need to establish new master narratives and puts forward a few suggestions in that respect.
