Aspects of the reign of King Henry re-examined, from royal
biography to administrative history. It is a testament to C. Warren
Hollister's ongoing influence that the reign of Henry I, until his
work on the period relatively neglected, is now a vibrant field of
inquiry - to which this collection, a special volume of the Haskins
Society Journal dedicated to his memory, makes a significant
contribution. Its distinguished contributors, many former Hollister
students, cover a wide range of areas: royal biography; political
history, including Church-Staterelations and relations with
neighbors such as Maine and Ireland as well as the English people
Henry ruled; administrative history, including fiscal management;
and prosopography, especially of the major developments in the
Anglo-Norman aristocracy under Henry's reign. This volume thus
continues and extends Hollister's scholarly legacy. Contributors:

A study of the operation of lordship in western France, emphasising
its continuity, rather than recent suggestions of major changes in
practice. The social and political meaning of lordship in western
France in the tenth and eleventh centuries is the focus of this
study. It analyses the development and features of lordship as it
was practised and experienced in Maine and the surrounding regions
of France, emphasizing the social logic of lordship (why it worked
as it did, and how it was socially justifiable and even necessary)
and the role of honour and charisma in shaping lordship
relationships. The vision and chronology of tenth- and
eleventh-century lordship on offer here departs from the model of
"feudal mutation", and emphasizes two major themes - the centrality
of intangible, charismatic elements of honor, prestige
andacclamation, and the lack of foundation for any notion of
"feudal transformation": while acknowledging changes in the
geography of power across the tenth and eleventh centuries, the
argument insists that the practicalities of thepractice of lordship
remained essentially the same between 890 and 1160. RICHARD E.
BARTON is assistant Professor of History, University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.
A series which is a model of its kind EDMUND KING, HISTORY The
latest volume of Battle Conference proceedings emphasizes the
European range and interdisciplinarity of the series. It opens with
Anne Duggan's R. Allen Brown Memorial Lecture for 2010, on the
effects of Pope Alexander III's so-called "marriage legislation" in
England. Norman history is covered by chapters on the detailed
account of Robert de Torigni's deeds as abbot of Mont Saint-Michel
which he added to the monastic cartulary, and on religious life in
Rouen in the late eleventh century, covering the rivalries but also
the common outlook of the cathedral canons and the monks of St
Ouen. Close readings of the work of two of the Anglo-Norman
historians of the earlier twelfth century provide many new insights
into their working methods and views of the world, specifically
Willam of Malmesbury's use of ambiguity and innuendo, and Orderic
Vitalis's treatment of the nexus between power and the display of
emotions. There are also two papers on art history, giving
sophisticated readings of the architecture shown in the Bayeux
Tapestry and the politically charged glazing scheme that Archbishop
Anselm installed at Canterbury cathedral. Contributors: Anne
Duggan, Alison Alexander, Richard E. Barton, Thomas N. Bisson, Paul
Hayward, T.A. Heslop, Elizabeth Carson Pastan C.P. LEWIS is a
Research Fellow in the History Department at King's College,
London, and a Senior Fellow of the Institute of Historical Research
in the University of London.
A study of the development of postal reorganization legislation in
the United States from the 1960's to 2006. The author was involved
in the process throuuut the whole process. The book is based in
part on interviews if the major players, as well as the literature
of public policy and the various documents developed by both
Congress and the Executive Branch. One of the basic theses is that
the legislative processon organizational matters is largely
non-partisan.
