This collection of essays reflects both the broad range of topics Barbara Hanawalt has broached as a medieval historian and also those her graduate students felt empowered to explore when working with her. Offering a wide methodological and disciplinary range, from political history to social history, and a broad range of sources, from public records to chronicles and literature, the contributors cover the identification of "alien" clothworkers to the communal aspects of the mayor of Norwich's "body;" from the self-creation of noble widows to the community creation of "chaste women" collectives. The introduction further provides an overview of the influence of Professor Hanawalt's work on modern-day medieval studies.
