Boydell and Brewer is publishing an
edited collection on late Medieval England in honor of Professor Mark Ormrod.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The essays collected here
celebrate mark the distinguished career of Professor W. Mark Ormrod, reflecting
the vibrancy and range of his scholarship on the structures, personalities and
culture of ruling late medieval England. Encompassing political,
administrative, Church and social history, the volume focusses on three main
themes: monarchy, state and political culture. For the first, it explores
Edward III's reactions to the deaths of his kinfolk and cases of political
defamation across the fourteenth century. The workings of the "state"
are examined through studies of tax and ecclesiastical records, the Court of
Chivalry, fifteenth-century legislation, and the working practices of the privy
seal clerk, Thomas Hoccleve. Finally, separate discussions of collegiate
statutes and the household ordinances of Cecily, duchess of York consider the
political culture of regulation and code-making.
