This broad-ranging study explores the nature of national sentiment
in fourteenth-century England and sets it in its political and
constitutional context for the first time. Andrea Ruddick reveals
that despite the problematic relationship between nationality and
subjecthood in the king of England's domains, a sense of English
identity was deeply embedded in the mindset of a significant
section of political society. Using previously neglected official
records as well as familiar literary sources, the book reassesses
the role of the English language in fourteenth-century national
sentiment and questions the traditional reliance on the English
vernacular as an index of national feeling. Positioning national
identity as central to our understanding of late medieval society,
culture, religion and politics, the book represents a significant
contribution not only to the political history of late medieval
England, but also to the growing debate on the nature and origins
of states, nations and nationalism in Europe.
