Essays on the connections between politics and society in the
middle ages, showing their interdependence. Christine Carpenter's
influential work on late-medieval English society aspires to
encompass a wide spectrum of human experience. Her vision of
"total" history embeds the study of politics in a multi-dimensional
social frameworkwhich ranges from mentalities and ideology to
economy and geography. This collection of essays celebrates
Professor Carpenter's achievement by drawing attention to the
social underpinning of political culture; the articles reflectthe
range of her interests, chronologically from the thirteenth century
to the sixteenth, and thematically from ideology and culture,
through government and its officials, the nobility, gentry and
yeomanry, the law and the church, to local society. The connection
between centre and locality pervades the volume, as does the
interplay of the ideological and cultural with the practical and
material. The essays highlight both how ideas were moulded in
political debate and action, and how their roots sprang from social
pressures and interests. It also emphasises the wider cultural
aspects of topics too-easily conceived as local and material.
