Parergon Editors' Foreword

The articles in Houses, Households and Families in Medieval and Early Modern Europe have grown from papers originally presented at the Perth Medieval and Renaissance Group Symposium, August 2005. We thank Philippa Maddern for her initial organisation of this collection and steady work in shepherding the authors towards completion and revision of their articles. Thanks are also due to the expert referees who reported independently to Parergon on submissions, and to Megan McKinlay for careful and prompt copy editing.
