This unique look at the town of Westminster is a study of the
nature of the urban community in the late Middle Ages. As a small
town, characterized by a complex economy and society but lacking
legal incorporation, Westminster typified the large yet neglected
class of medieval urban centers. Rosser here examines the forces
that existed to contain tensions and ensure continuity in the
community. The regular expressions of shared interests and common
identity--in local government, parochial life, and the activities
of guilds--are shown to be essential to the survival of the town. A
valuable contribution to the study of the social and economic
history of the late Middle Ages, this work will be of interest to
students of late medieval economic and social history as well as to
urban historians.
