"Necessary Conjunctions" is an original study of how regular
medieval people created their public social identities. Focusing
especially on the world of English townspeople in the later Middle
Ages, the book explores the social self, the public face of the
individual. It gives special attention to how prevalent norms of
honor, fidelity and hierarchy guided and were manipulated by
medieval citizens. With variable success, medieval men and women
defined themselves and each other by the clothes they work, the
goods they cherished, as well as by their alliances and enemies,
their sharp tongues and petty violence. Employing a highly
interdisciplinary methodology and an original theory makes it
possible to see how personal agency and identity developed within
the framework of later medieval power structures.
