    The period from the twelfth century to the Wars of the Roses witnessed a dominant tradition of secular prophecy engaged with high political affairs, which this book charts, discussing the production of prophetic texts forecasting the rule of the whole of Britain by the kings of England. It draws on the prophetic works of familiar authors and names, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas of Erceldoune, alongside previously unpublished manuscript material, to study identity formation among medieval political elites. Alongside English prophetic texts, the author explores competing visions of the British future produced in Wales and Scotland, with which English prophetic authors entered into an overt dialogue; this was a cross-border exchange which in many ways shaped the development of this deeply influential discourse. Prophecy is revealed to be a dynamic arena for literary exchange, where alternative imaginings of the future sovereignty of Britain vied for acceptance, and compelled decision making at the highest political levels.

    Dr Victoria Flood is Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at the University of Birmingham

    In the early fifteenth century, English poets responded to a changed climate of patronage, instituted by Henry IV and successor monarchs, by inventing a new tradition of public and elite poetry. Following Chaucer and others, Hoccleve and Lydgate brought to English verse a style and subject matter writing about their King, nation, and themselves, and their innovations influenced a continuous line of poets running through and beyond Wyatt. A crucial aspect of this tradition is its development of ideas and practices associated with the role of poet laureate. Robert J. Meyer-Lee examines the nature and significance of this tradition as it developed from the fourteenth century to Tudor times, tracing its evolution from one author to the next. This study illuminates the relationships between poets and political power and makes plain the tremendous impact this verse has had on the shape of English literary culture Introduction: laureates and beggars -- Part I. Backgrounds -- Laureate poetics -- Part II. The First Lancastrian Poets -- John Lydgate: the invention of the English laureate -- Thomas Hoccleve: beggar laureate -- Part III.

    In Translations of Authority in Medieval English Literature, leading critic Alastair Minnis presents the fruits of a long-term engagement with the ways in which crucial ideological issues were deployed in vernacular texts. The concept of the vernacular is seen as possessing a value far beyond the category of language - as encompassing popular beliefs and practices which could either confirm or contest those authorized by church and state institutions. Minnis addresses the crisis for vernacular translation precipitated by the Lollard heresy; the minimal engagement with Nominalism in late fourteenth-century poetry; Langland's views on indulgences; the heretical theology of Walter Brut; Margery Kempe's self-promoting biblical exegesis; and Chaucer's tales of suspicious saints and risible relics. These discussions disclose different aspects of 'vernacularity', enabling a fuller understanding of its complexity and potency Absent glosses : the trouble with middle English hermeneutics -- Looking for a sign : the quest for Nominalism in Ricardian poetry -- Piers's protean pardon : Langland on the letter and spirit of indulgences -- Making bodies : confection and conception in Walter Brut's vernacular theology -- Spiritualizing marriage : Margery Kempe's allegories of female authority -- Chaucer and the relics of vernacular religion

    John Gower has been criticised for composing verse propaganda for the English state, in support of the regime of Henry IV, at the end of his distinguished career. However, as the author of this book shows, using evidence from Gower's English, French and Latin poems alongside contemporary state papers, pamphlet-literature, and other historical prose, Gower was not the only medieval writer to be so employed in serving a monarchy's goals. Professor Carlson also argues that Gower's late poetry is the apotheosis of the fourteenth-century tradition of state-official writing which lay at the origin of the literary Renaissance in Ricardian and Lancastrian England. David Carlson is Professor in the Department of English, University of Ottawa Official Verse: The Sources and Problems of Evidence -- The State Propaganda -- Occasions of State and Propagandistic Verse in Mid-Century -- Walter Peterborough's Victoria belli in Hispania [1367] and its Official Source -- Compulsion in Richard Maidstone's Concordia [1392] -- Official Writing at the Lancastrian Advent -- English Poetry in Late Summer 1399 -- The Cronica tripertita and its Official Source -- Gower after the Revolution: Client and Critic

    In the century before Chaucer a new language of political critique emerged. In political verse of the period, composed in Anglo-Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English, poets write as if addressing the king himself, drawing on their sense of the rights granted by Magna Carta. These apparent appeals to the sovereign increase with the development of parliament in the late thirteenth century and the emergence of the common petition, and become prominent, in an increasingly sophisticated literature, during the political crises of the early fourteenth century. However, very little of this writing was truly directed to the king. As David Matthews shows in this book, the form of address was a rhetorical stance revealing much about the position from which writers were composing, the audiences they wished to reach, and their construction of political and national subjects Introduction -- Defending Anglia -- Attacking Scotland : Edward I and the 1290s -- Regime change -- The destruction of England : crisis and complaint c.1300-41 -- Love letters to Edward III -- Envoy -- Appendix. The tail-rhyme poems of Langtoft's chronicle

    The arguments used to justify the deposition of Richard II in 1399 created new forms of political discussion which developed alongside new expectations of kingship itself and which shaped political action and debate for centuries to come. This interdisciplinary study analyses the political language and literature of the early Lancastrian period, particularly the reigns of Henry IV (1399–1413) and Henry V (1413–1422). Lancastrian authors such as Thomas Hoccleve and the authors of the anonymous works Richard the Redeless, Mum and the Sothsegger and Crowned King made creative use of languages and idioms which were in the process of escaping from the control of their royal masters. In a study that has far-reaching implications for both literary and political history, Jenni Nuttall presents a fresh understanding of how political language functions in the late medieval period Household narratives -- Stereotyping Richard and the Ricardian familia -- The dissemination of the Ricardian stereotype -- Politicizing pre-existing languages -- From stereotypes to standards -- Household narratives in Lancastrian poetry -- Credit and love -- Promises, expectations, explanations, and solutions -- A discourse of credit and loyalty -- Credit and fraud in Hoccleve's Regiment -- Lancastrian conversations

    The arguments used to justify the deposition of Richard II in 1399 created new forms of political discussion which developed alongside new expectations of kingship itself and which shaped political action and debate for centuries to come. This interdisciplinary study analyses the political language and literature of the early Lancastrian period, particularly the reigns of Henry IV (1399–1413) and Henry V (1413–1422). Lancastrian authors such as Thomas Hoccleve and the authors of the anonymous works Richard the Redeless, Mum and the Sothsegger and Crowned King made creative use of languages and idioms which were in the process of escaping from the control of their royal masters. In a study that has far-reaching implications for both literary and political history, Jenni Nuttall presents a fresh understanding of how political language functions in the late medieval period Household narratives -- Stereotyping Richard and the Ricardian familia -- The dissemination of the Ricardian stereotype -- Politicizing pre-existing languages -- From stereotypes to standards -- Household narratives in Lancastrian poetry -- Credit and love -- Promises, expectations, explanations, and solutions -- A discourse of credit and loyalty -- Credit and fraud in Hoccleve's Regiment -- Lancastrian conversations

    In Translations of Authority in Medieval English Literature, leading critic Alastair Minnis presents the fruits of a long-term engagement with the ways in which crucial ideological issues were deployed in vernacular texts. The concept of the vernacular is seen as possessing a value far beyond the category of language - as encompassing popular beliefs and practices which could either confirm or contest those authorized by church and state institutions. Minnis addresses the crisis for vernacular translation precipitated by the Lollard heresy; the minimal engagement with Nominalism in late fourteenth-century poetry; Langland's views on indulgences; the heretical theology of Walter Brut; Margery Kempe's self-promoting biblical exegesis; and Chaucer's tales of suspicious saints and risible relics. These discussions disclose different aspects of 'vernacularity', enabling a fuller understanding of its complexity and potency Absent glosses : the trouble with middle English hermeneutics -- Looking for a sign : the quest for Nominalism in Ricardian poetry -- Piers's protean pardon : Langland on the letter and spirit of indulgences -- Making bodies : confection and conception in Walter Brut's vernacular theology -- Spiritualizing marriage : Margery Kempe's allegories of female authority -- Chaucer and the relics of vernacular religion

    In the early fifteenth century, English poets responded to a changed climate of patronage, instituted by Henry IV and successor monarchs, by inventing a new tradition of public and elite poetry. Following Chaucer and others, Hoccleve and Lydgate brought to English verse a style and subject matter writing about their King, nation, and themselves, and their innovations influenced a continuous line of poets running through and beyond Wyatt. A crucial aspect of this tradition is its development of ideas and practices associated with the role of poet laureate. Robert J. Meyer-Lee examines the nature and significance of this tradition as it developed from the fourteenth century to Tudor times, tracing its evolution from one author to the next. This study illuminates the relationships between poets and political power and makes plain the tremendous impact this verse has had on the shape of English literary culture Introduction: laureates and beggars -- Part I. Backgrounds -- Laureate poetics -- Part II. The First Lancastrian Poets -- John Lydgate: the invention of the English laureate -- Thomas Hoccleve: beggar laureate -- Part III. From Lancaster to Early Tudor -- Lydgateanism -- The trace of Lydgate: Stephen Hawes, Alexander Barclay, and John Skelton -- Epilogue: Sir Thomas Wyatt: anti-laureate

    The period from the twelfth century to the Wars of the Roses witnessed a dominant tradition of secular prophecy engaged with high political affairs, which this book charts, discussing the production of prophetic texts forecasting the rule of the whole of Britain by the kings of England. It draws on the prophetic works of familiar authors and names, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas of Erceldoune, alongside previously unpublished manuscript material, to study identity formation among medieval political elites. Alongside English prophetic texts, the author explores competing visions of the British future produced in Wales and Scotland, with which English prophetic authors entered into an overt dialogue; this was a cross-border exchange which in many ways shaped the development of this deeply influential discourse. Prophecy is revealed to be a dynamic arena for literary exchange, where alternative imaginings of the future sovereignty of Britain vied for acceptance, and compelled decision making at the highest political levels.

    Dr Victoria Flood is Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at the University of Birmingham
