Irish and Scottish Art, c. 900-1900
Studies the shared artistic traditions of Scotland and Ireland, from the medieval to the modern An interdisciplinary synthesis on a large, significant corpus of Scottish and Irish material culture (c.900-1900), traditionally overlooked due to focus on the earlier period (c.700–900) Instead of a singular Celtic Revival c.1830–1930, argues for a series of revivals and renewals, stretching across a millennium Examines the extended biographies of gro…
“Let Him Walk with You”
In this article I use a blend of autoethnography and historical storytelling to explore the role of outdoor space in forming relationships between fifteenth-century men and their maintenance of hegemonic power. By weaving together three striking vignettes from late fifteenth-century England, constructed as creative retellings of the historical evidence, with autoethnographic notes on my own lived experience, I am able to fill in the gaps of the h…
Ready to Disport with You
This article centres on an archery match played in August 1478 by wool merchants living in Calais, at that time an English-occupied town. I analyse how the invitation to play a competitive but friendly game between fellow freemen of the wool Staple reiterated masculine social norms and strengthened corporate bonds in a fraternity setting. Set in the wider context of the Calais wool merchant community, the archery match provides the perfect exampl…
Fragments and Assemblages
Medieval manuscripts, Arthur Bahr argues on the first page of his exciting, adventurous study of late medieval compilations, ‘expose as false the long-implied opposition between form and history’. He argues that compilations, assemblages ‘of multiple discrete works into a larger structure’ (p. 10), problematise—and destabilise—existing narratives of the literary history of fourteenth-century England, and should thus compel scholars to rethink not…
The Impact of Target Frequency on Intra-Individual Variability in Euthymic Bipolar Disorder
Greater intra-individual variability (IIV) in reaction time (RT) on a sustained attention task has been reported in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) compared with healthy controls. However, it is unclear whether IIV is task specific, or whether it represents general cross-task impairment in BD. This study aimed to investigate whether IIV occurs in sustained attention tasks with different parameters. Twenty-two patients with BD (currently euthy…
And much more I am soryat for my good knyghts”
In Middle English romances, public and semi-public displays of emotion are used by elite men to strengthen and promote hegemonic masculinity. This article examines how male fainting, as an act witnessed and sometimes replicated by an audience of men, serves to reinforce homosocial bonds, and to highlight the heroic qualities that make these characters capable of such deep, public sorrow. Late medieval patriarchy is dependent upon the homosocial b…
Middle-Class Writing in Late Medieval London, by Malcolm Richardson
Malcolm Richardson’s excellent book on writing culture in late medieval London opens with an unexpected anecdote about piracy. After two mercantile vessels were beset by pirates in the English Channel, the Merchant Adventurers of London responded with a flurry of different written instructions to ensure the safe return of the stolen goods. Messages politic, economic and, above all, bureaucratic quickly made their way back and forth across the Con…
John Gower
The introduction to the new edition and translation of John Gower’s fourteenth-century Latin poems Visio Anglie and Cronica tripertita opens with a poetic self-portrait that both reveals and conceals. Summarising his achievements in poetry, Gower notes that ‘at the world is where I aim my bow’ and warns ‘Do know yourselves, therefore: you may find yourselves herein’. Gower’s arrows pierce the reader not to puncture him or her, but to force open a…
The Later Medieval English Urban Household
Home is one of the most emotive words in any language but our experience of being at home is historically and culturally specific. This article reviews a range of recent scholarship on the later medieval English urban household in the disciplines of History, Literary criticism and Archaeology. It has been composed collaboratively by the members of the York Medieval Household Research Group. After an introduction tracing the wider context in which…
