The Laborer's Two Bodies explores the intellectual, cultural, and
political consequences of one of the most fundamental shifts in
late medieval English society: the first national labour regulation
in the wake of the 1348 plague. Bridging the medieval and early
modern periods, this book analyzes a wide range of texts and images
produced in this initial period of labour regulation (1349 to
1500), including trial records, ecclesiastical bulls, penitential
literature, and chronicle accounts, considering these documents
alongside better known texts by Chaucer, Gower, Langland, the
Paston Family, Barclay and More (among others). This book
demonstrates that the category of labour (as both lived and
imagined) became increasingly problematic for writers who struggled
to understand the meaning of work in a world where labour was
simultaneously understood as punishment, virtue and reward.
This timely volume examines the commitments of historicism in the wake of New Historicism. It contributes to the construction of a materialist historicism while, at the same time, proposing that discussions of work need not be limited to the clash between labor and capital. To this end, the essays offer more than a strictly historical view of the complex terms, social and literary, within which labor was treated in the medieval period. Several of the essays strive to reformulate the very critical language we use to think about the categories of labor and work through a continually doubled engagement with modern theories of labor and medieval theories and practices of labor.
Does the Labour Government's commitment to Freedom of Information
mean the end of excessive secrecy in the UK? Why has Britain
finally decided to join the many other countries that enjoy a
"right to know"? This book places the UK debate over open
government in its political context. Robertson argues that just as
secrecy reflected the interests of the powerful, so too does
freedom of information. This is a radical and challenging
alternative to the conventional view that open government is
concerned with empowering "the people".
A native of Ireland, John O'Brien heeded his adopted state's call
and cast his lot with the Confederacy. Shortly after his enlistment
he served in the Army of Tennessee. The diary begins prior to the
battle of Murfreesboro, where he was captured. The confusion of
battle, the ordeal of being in the hospital, and the uncertainty of
life as a prisoner of war are all vividly portrayed.
