The duel is specifically about honour. A principle that humanity often takes too far, even today.
In centuries past the duel was fought by two men who could resolve their quarrel in no other way. The victim felt anything from slighted to humiliated and must regain his honour, whatever the cost. Pistols at ten paces, or rather closer with swords, should see the matter settled. Of course, despite its arrival at violence there were many rules ands traditions to take account of.
In this volume our classic authors explore all sorts of duels and the consequences of those actions.
