- This monograph offers the first exploration of how the medieval hero Edward the Black Prince became an object of cultural fascination and celebration in 18 and 19c England. Research began in 2005 in local, national and international collections critically examining unexplored literature, histories, drama, art and material culture to expose contradictory meanings ascribed to the medieval in royal and popular culture. It makes three major contributions arguing that the late Middle Ages held special meaning for modern Britons, illustrating an active Georgian focus on the late Middle Ages and highlighting the contested nature of the medieval past in Victorian Britain.
