- This is the first book-length interdisciplinary study of medieval European civic polity. It argues that urban governors sought administrative and spiritual dominion over the citizenry. The book offers comparative studies of different source materials, including the records of the London Guildhall, wills, play texts and poetry, epitaphs, funerary monuments and shrines, and manuscript and printed books, spanning an extended period from c. 1380-c. 1480. Its significance is to demonstrate to other medieval and urban historians that messages of power were encoded by ruling elites into mixed media, even into the fabric of the urban environment through building projects and memorials.
