Summary
Now well into its second decade, Fourteenth Century England aims to bring to publication the findings of recent and current research projects in a wide range of topics relating to politics, government, society and culture of the fourteenth century in England.
Several of the papers in this collection have their genesis in papers given under the auspices of the Society for Fourteenth-Century Studies at the annual International Medieval Congress, Leeds, and in sessions of the Society of the White Hart at the annual International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo. I should like to thank the other members of the editorial board of Fourteenth Century England – James Bothwell, Gwilym Dodd, Chris Given-Wilson and Nigel Saul – for their assistance in the organization of the sessions at Leeds as well as their careful reading of and comments on submissions for this volume. I should similarly like to thank Mark Arvanigian for his organization of the sessions of the Society of the White Hart at Kalamazoo. While this and other volumes of Fourteenth Century England are not limited to papers previously presented in these venues, both conferences continue to provide lively settings for thoughtful discussion, debate, and at times disagreement, all of which fosters new approaches to this field of study.
To Caroline Palmer and the staff of Boydell & Brewer I once again offer heartfelt thanks for their expertise and support, both material and personal. Their unstinting support of this series and Medieval Studies in general is deeply appreciated.
The next volume of Fourteenth Century England (IX, 2016) will be edited by James Bothwell and Gwilym Dodd. Potential contributors may contact Dr Bothwell at the School of History, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH or [email protected]; and Dr Dodd at the Department of History, University of Nottingham, University Park Nottingham, NG7 2RD or [email protected].
