This book posits that coins and their (especially literary)
representations were inextricably bound with several key factors
for English state formation within the period. After surveying
various definitions and histories of the "state" within the first
chapter, this book identifies five major dimensions of state
formation which correspond to the five chapters of the book:
centralized institutional developments; the limits and extent of
state and monarchical authority according to custom, reason and
natural law; the development and expansion of a legal framework, in
particular statute law, for moral regulation and upholding of state
prerogatives; the political theology of state evident especially in
the charisma of kingship; and the territorial boundaries of state
authority, including their impact on intra-state relations. Most of
the chapters marry an element of coinage and a literary text (or
set of texts) to one of the key factors in English state
formation.
