Eliza Hartrich

Politics and the Urban Sector in Fifteenth-Century England, 1413-1471

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The politics of fifteenth-century England have been studied traditionally by examining the relationships between the king, nobility, and gentry. This study argues that English towns-though quite small individually-formed a collective 'urban sector' that had a significant influence on the language, policies, and events in English 'high politics'.
