Beskrivning
This collection investigates how the late-medieval household acted as a sorter, user and disseminator of different kinds of ready information, from the traditional and authoritative to the innovative and newly made. Building on work on the noble and bourgeois medieval household, it considers bourgeois, gentry and collegiate households on both sides of the English Channel. The book argues that there is a dynamic and reciprocal relationship between domestic experience and its forms of cultural expression. Contributors address a range of cultural productions, including conduct texts, romances and comic writing, estates-management literature, medical writing, household music and drama and manuscript anthologies. Their studies provide a fresh illustration of the late-medieval household's imaginative scope, its extensive internal and external connections and its fundamental centrality to late-medieval cultural production.

Recensioner i media

'One final note in favor of this volume is the frequency of cross-references between the essays: Burger’s essay makes good use of Kuipers’s argument, Seaman cites Burger, Critten cites Radulescu, etc. These connections not only strengthen the volume’s coherence, but make a good case for the household as meaningful field of study.'Studies in the Age of Chaucer'Glenn Burger and Rory Critten’s well-edited collection gives new dimension to topics often associated either with medieval universities or the royal household...The underlying question of medieval practicality stands to be the core of important future work for which this collection, with its range of theoretical and historical approaches and effective footnotes, is an intelligent and well-rounded resource.'Arthuriana
