About this title

Synopsis

The essays in this volume have been produced to honor J. Ambrose Raftis on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. . . . Although disparate in content and approaches they are united, and by more than their simply being devoted to medieval subjects. Throughout the career of Ambrose Raftis two themes or convictions have been in evidence: a belief in the fundamental individuality of medieval English men and women, and a belief in their ability to make choices. However much environment, custom, social structure, even biology, might constrain or otherwise affect personal behavior, the men and women who appear in the often laconic entries of medieval court rolls were distinctive, one-of-a-kind persons, and their actions, their deeds and their misdeeds, their triumphs and their failures, their follies were often the result of choices they had made. In this, the essays of this volume are united.-from the Introduction
