Offering a methodological and disciplinary range, from political history to social history, this title features contributors who tackle subjects from the identification of 'alien' clothworkers to the communal aspects of the mayor of Norwich's 'body'; from the self-creation of noble widows to the community creation of 'chaste women' collectives. "All together, this volume is a fitting tribute to the life and work of Barbara Hanawalt. There is no one working in late medieval England today whose methods and conclusions are uninformed by Hanawalt's work, and as these essays show, her methods and legacy will be adaptable to the next generation of medieval studies." - Lois L. Huneycutt, Medieval Institute Publications
