What did 'home' mean to men and women in the period 1200-1500? This
volume explores the many cultural, material and ideological
dimensions of the concept of domesticity. Leading scholars examine
not only the material cultures of domesticity, gender, and power
relations within the household, but also how they were envisioned
in texts, images, objects and architecture. Many of the essays
argue that England witnessed the emergence of a distinctive
bourgeois ideology of domesticity during the late Middle Ages. But
the volume also contends that, although the world of the great lord
was far removed from that of the artisan or peasant, these social
groups all occupied physical structures that constituted homes in
which people were drawn together by ties of kinship, service or
neighbourliness. This pioneering study will appeal to scholars of
medieval English society, literature and culture.
