Opis

The Performance of Self Ritual, Clothing, and Identity During the Hundred Years War Susan Crane "Suggestive and thought-provoking."--Modern Philology "Crane builds a strong basis for discussion of a kind of privileged late medieval secularism. The materials she studies are remarkable not only for the striking collocations she produces but for their own inherent fascination, and it is good to have attention directed to them in so focused and timely a way. It is particularly refreshing to have a study of elite activity that is neither idealizing nor reproving."--David Lawton, Washington University "Crane's consideration of 'court performances' of later fourteenth- and earlier fifteenth-century English and French literature and culture is both polished and erudite, written both deftly and with clarity throughout. A finely crafted and imaginative study."--Paul Strohm, University of Oxford "Crane's readers cannot fail to be engaged with and fascinated by this book's array of late-medieval cultural practices 'performed' by the French and English courtly elite." --Speculum "Crane moves with admirable grace among an array of sources including household accounts, inquisitional records, chronicles, and a wide range of literature. Her interpretive strategies frequently upset received opinion and reverse readers' expectations with exciting results...This book definitely breaks new ground and is an important contribution to the study of late medieval culture."--Journal of English and Germanic Philology "Susan Crane's book ...is a wonderful contribution to the history of bodily display...Erudite, richly detailed, and suggestive, with excellent footnotes, bibliography, and index, this is a gold mine that readers will happily quarry (and extend to other medieval texts and practices) for some time to come."--Medium Aevum Susan Crane is Professor of English at Columbia University and author of Gender and Romance in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
