This is the first collection of translated sources on towns in
medieval England. It draws on the great variety of written evidence
for this significant and dynamic period of urban development, and
invites students to consider for themselves the challenges and
opportunities presented by a wide range of primary written sources.
The introduction and editorial commentary situate the extracts
within the larger context of European urban history, against a
longer chronological backdrop and in relation to the most
up-to-date research. Suggestions for further reading enable the
student to engage critically with the materials and encourage new
work in the field. Collectively, the texts and commentary provide
an overview of English medieval urban history, while the emphasis
throughout is on the particular character and potential of each
type of written evidence, from legal and administrative records to
inventories of shops, and from letters and poetry to legendary
civic histories. -- .
