Urban Culture in Medieval Wales

Informationen zum Autor Helen Fulton is professor of medieval literature at the University of York, and teaches at the university's Centre for Medieval Studies. Klappentext This collection of articles examines towns and urban life as part of the cultural fabric of late-medieval Wales. Though medieval Welsh towns were small relative to those in England and Europe! they had a significant impact on what was at the time a largely rural economy. As the sites of political and cultural tension between English and Wels! these towns were also responsible for the growth of national identity and a distinctive urban culture in Wales. This book draws on the evidence of local records and literature in order to shed light on a neglected aspect of medieval Welsh History. Zusammenfassung From street brawls to street theatre! this is the first comprehensive collection of essays describing aspects of urban life and culture in Wales from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
