Historic doubts about the survival of the Princes in the Tower after 1485
This note assesses Philippa Langley's four proofs for the survival of the two Princes in the Tower after 1485. Neither the Lille document nor supporting evidences prove that Lambert Simnel was really Edward V rather than Edward, earl of Warwick. The Gelderland manifesto recounting the escape of Richard, duke of York and the pretender's pledge to Duke Albert of Saxony were propaganda as necessary for the imposter Perkin Warbeck as for the real pri…
Life after death
This article documents a considerable increase in the percentage of manorial lords in fifteenth-century England who had enfeoffed their lands in use (trusts). Enfeoffments to use were the principal mechanism that enabled manorial lords to resettle their lands. The recent publication of inquisitions post-mortem for 1483-5 and wills for 1479-86 reveal how uses proliferated. Long-term uses appear to have been quite rare. Panels of feoffees were dimi…
Mass Marketing the American Avant-Garde, 1967–1971
Over thirty? Stuck in the same musical bag for too long and getting a little twitchy? Have you run through the three Bs and back to Monteverdi and forward to Mahler and Ives? Are you bored with Perry Como but not desperate enough to embrace “the Stones” or Janis Joplin? Peace. Under thirty? Are you getting bored occasionally with Jimi Hendrix, maybe a little put off by Jim Morrison? Jaws tired of “bubble gum music”? Want to broaden your horizons …

The Later Medieval Inquisitions Post Mortem
The Inquisitions post mortem (IPMs) are a truly wonderful source for many different aspects of late medieval countryside and rural life. They have recently been made digitally accessible and interrogatable by the Mapping the Medieval Countryside project, and the first fruits of these developments are presented here. The chapters examine IPMs in connection with the landscape and topography of England, in particular markets and fairs and mills; and…

Does Wal‐Mart Cause an Increase in Anti‐Poverty Expenditures
Objectives This article addresses the role of Wal‐Mart Store entrance in changing expenditures on federal and state anti‐poverty transfers in the United States. Methods Using a panel of the conterminous 48 states, correcting for time and spatial autocorrelation and local government mix and policy changes. Results I find that the number of Wal‐Marts and their employment share in the retail sector have no impact on food stamps or AFDC/TANF expendit…

The Fifteenth-Century Inquisitions Post Mortem
Essays offering a guide to a vital source for our knowledge of medieval England.

Inquisitions were local enquiries into the lands heldby people of some status, in order to discover whatever income and rights were due to the crown on their death, and provide details both of …

This article discusses Edward IV's Brief Treatise, a propaganda tract that sets out the Yorkist title to the three crowns of England, France and Castile. It discusses the five surviving manuscripts and recent editions, and establishes that there are two versions of c.1462 and after 1468. The contents are summarized and what is distinctive is identified. The propagandist nature of the tract, its relationship with other Yorkist texts, its message a…

Crowland's World
The Second Anonymous Crowland Continuation is the premier chronicle of the Yorkist age. It also provides unique access to the mental world of its author, a senior cleric in the royal secretariat, and through him to that of his milieu, the civil service at Westminster. He was a ‘fly on the wall’, who witnessed everything but apparently influenced nothing. He may not have understood all he saw, but he remembered almost all of it, including, most pr…

Bastard Feudalism, Overmighty Subjects and Idols of the Multitude during the Wars of the Roses
A handful of overmighty subjects exercised a disproportionate influence on the events of the Wars of the Roses. This article considers how and why. Circumstances were certainly propitious. Not only did the greatest noblemen command exceptional resources of their own, albeit always less than the king, but they deployed the principal military commands against the crown and sought to enlist the populace on their side. Successful overmighty subjects …

Sixties Rock
Unlike their rock 'n' roll predecessors, many rock musicians of the mid-sixties came to consider themselves as artists, as self-conscious makers of a new sonic medium. Sixties Rock offers a provocative look at these artists and their innovations in two pivotal rock genres: garage rock and psychedelic music.Delving into everything from harmony to hardware, Michael Hicks shows what makes this music tick and what made it unique in its time.

Cement or Solvent? Kinship and Politics in Late Medieval England
This article examines the significance of kinship among the late medieval English nobility through a case study of the Nevilles of Middleham, one of the most prolific and best‐matched noble houses which also, notoriously, failed to co‐operate in politics. It argues that it is wrong to treat the whole kinship network (lineage) as a family, an approach which raises unreal expectations of solidarity among quite distant relatives, substitutes instead…

It is ten years since the Glassco Commission called for a drastic reduction in the numbers and in the scope of the administrative controls exercised on the departments of the federal government by the Treasury Board. But the Glassco slogan ‘Let the managers manage’ is not subtle enough to cope with the delicate question of how to give the maximum managerial freedom to departments while retaining for the Treasury Board enough supervision to satisf…

John Cage's Studies with Schoenberg
Arnold Schoenberg once remarked that the sole reward of a teacher came in taking credit for his pupils' successes.' Schoenberg's most renowned American pupil, however, was one for whose successes he apparently never claimed credit: John Cage. At one time commentators saw clearly the link between the two men's music.2 But the radical directions that Cage's career has taken in the last four decades have obscured the connection to his teacher.

From megaphone to microscope
The conduct and motivation of Richard Duke of York is important for an understanding of the outbreak of the Wars of Roses but historians are sharply divided about it. The earliest concrete evidence is the duke's correspondence with Henry VI in 1450, but this too is open to differing interpretations. This paper re-examines the correspondence both as diplomatic and in terms of its contents. On the evidence of his own utterances, the duke moves from…
