- Description
- An introduction and seven essays explore the mutual contingency of history and literature in late-medieval England. The collection interprets historical texts for contemporary attitudes and ideologies, discovering, for example, the "carnivalesque" in reports of the so-called Peasants' Revolt of 1381 and varieties of factionalism in petitions and charters. Includes appendixes on the accusations brought against Thomas Austin and on liveries, the first by A. J. Prescott.
