Eight studies of aspects of C15 England, united by a common focus
on the role of ideas in political developments of the time. The
concept of "political culture" has become very fashionable in the
last thirty years, but only recently has it been consciously taken
up by practitioners of late-medieval English history, who have
argued for the need to acknowledge the role of ideas in politics.
While this work has focused on elite political culture, interest in
the subject has been growing among historians of towns and
villages, especially as they have begun to recognise the importance
of both internal politics and national government in the affairs of
townsmen and peasants. This volume, the product of a conference on
political culture in the late middle ages, explores the subject
from a variety of perspectives and in a variety of spheres. It is
hoped that it will put the subject firmly on the map for the study
of late-medieval England and lead to further exploration of
political culture in this period. Contributors CAROLINE BARRON,
