This series [pushes] the boundaries of knowledge and [develops] new
trends in approach and understanding. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The
essays collected here cast light on the factors that made or
defined an individual, and the ways in which the men and women
concerned gave expression to their individuality. Facets of the
characters of English kings emerge from the varying contents of
their wills, and the use of propaganda in their personal letters.
By contrast, Margaret of Anjou's early years are explored for the
roots of her conduct as queen consort, and how she matched up to
contemporary expectations following Henry VI's mental collapse. The
law courts and the legal profession provide the stage and cast for
several papers: individual lawyers, of dubious integrity and adept
at manipulating legal processes intheir own interests, provoked the
violence that led to their own deaths, while a member of the same
profession is shown to have orchestrated civic riots in which he
and his neighbours sought to give expression to their own statusas
they perceived it. Finally, in their frustrated search for justice,
strong-minded women asserted their individual rights by taking
their grievances to Henry VII's star chamber. Contributors: Chris
Given-Wilson, Anthony Gross, David Grummitt, Samuel Lane, Simon
Payling, Alice Raw, Anne F. Sutton, Deborah Youngs.
