Parliament and Literature in Late Medieval England investigates the
relationship between the development of parliament and the practice
of English poetry in the later fourteenth and early fifteenth
centuries. During this period, the bureaucratic political culture
of parliamentarians, clerks, and scribes overlapped with the
artistic practice of major poets like Chaucer, Gower, and Langland,
all of whom had strong ties to parliament. Matthew Giancarlo
investigates these poets together in the specific context of
parliamentary events and controversies, as well as in the broader
environment of changing constitutional ideas. Two chapters provide
fresh analyses of the parliamentary ideologies that developed from
the thirteenth century onward, and four chapters investigate the
parliamentary aspects of each poet, as well as the later
Lancastrian imitators of Langland. This study demonstrates the
importance of the changing parliamentary environs of late medieval
England and their centrality to the early growth of English
narrative and lyric forms.
