Description
Turner asks whether "literary practice and socio-political conflict" were "mutually dependent" in Ricardian England, arguing that writers and scribes--including Chaucer and Adam Pinkhurst--worked for "politically active and volatile guilds" and suggesting that "discourse was everywhere foregrounded as a cause of contention" at that time.
