Wardship literature in romance used to illuminate the reality of
wardship, and to further an understanding of legal history. Studies
of wardship in medieval England have so far only seriously
concentrated on legal concerns, thus overlooking the intricacies
and subtleties of wardship discourse as they are revealed in
romance literature. Menuge explores how wardship literature in
romance may be used in studies of wardship, and how it may
complement an understanding of legal history. Wardship discourse is
examined in a variety of sources - legal treatises, cases, and
romance - andis discussed in the light of medieval and current
perceptions of wardship. Questions are raised as to why and how
wards, guardians, lords and families are constructed in the
sources, and how these may be read as "narrative fictions" to tell
us more about wardship construction and perception in author and
audience alike. The issues addressed are those to do with
inheritance, waste, legal age, marriage and guardianship care,
while the dominant theme is the importance of the father and his
legacy to the ward within this discourse. NOEL JAMES MENUGE gained
her D. Phil from the University of York.
