This substantial anthology of documents offers students of later medieval English literature, society and history a range of interdisciplinary perspectives through which to understand the literary texts from the period 1350-1550.

Supported by a wide-range of pedagogically-designed tools to help students find their way into the history, literature and culture of the period, The Later Middle Ages: A Sourcebook includes:* An authoritative introduction outlining key historical events, social and political movements, and literary and cultural ideas of the time. * Informative headnotes, footnotes and section introductions, supporting the material and providing insights into how individual documents aid the reading of major texts* A timeline and a chronological list of the major literary events of the period* A comprehensive guide to further reading and useful websitesThe Later Middle Ages: A Sourcebook makes available documents that are both important in their own right, and crucial for an understanding of the literary output of the period, challenging boundaries between text and context, literature and history. The rich source material and essential context that this book provides make it an invaluable resource for all students of Medieval Studies. |
