This is a comprehensive study of minor landowners - the gentry - in
one county in fifteenth-century England. In common with other
recent local studies of the later middle ages, it builds upon the
seminal work of K. B. McFarlane, looking at the political and
social world in the localities from which the nobles drew their
power. The books aims to present a fully-rounded picture of the
experiences of the gentry, relating their private and their public
lives, their permanent concerns to the changing needs of local and
national politics. Its approach is thus both thematic, exploring
the main elements, often private in nature, which moulded their
public actions, such as marriage, estate management and senses of
family, and chronological, presenting a detailed narrative of
politics and account of political structures and relationships. The
work takes a conscious stand for a return to a more
'constitutional' form of political history than the orthodoxy of
the moment for the period, which takes patronage and personalities
to be the prime movers in politics.
