This collection is the work of scholars on Middle English, Insular
French and Medieval Latin writings of the late twelfth century in
England and its possessions, when an English-speaking populace was
ruled by a French-speaking aristocracy and administered by a
Latin-speaking and writing clergy. The political discourses of
Henry's reign are acknowledged, developed and ironised within the
first real flowering of so many vernacular genres, romance and
history in particular. The energetic and intrepid writers of this
period are examined in relation to the development of social
institutions and emergent ideas of 'nationhood', as the literature
of Henry's court is shown to act as an echo-chamber within which
anxieties about the proper exercise of power in a legal order
founded on martial conquest could be reflected and soothed.
