The Anglo-Saxon Chancery
An exploration of Anglo-Saxon charters, bringing out their complexity and highlighting a range of broad implications.
The Waxing of the Middle Ages
Johan Huizinga’s much-loved and much-contested Autumn of the Middle Ages, first published in 1919, encouraged an image of the Late French Middle Ages as a flamboyant but empty period of decline and nostalgia. Many studies, particularly literary studies, have challenged Huizinga’s perceptions of individual works or genres. Still, the vision of the Late French and Burgundian Middle Ages as a sad transitional phase between the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance persists. Yet, a series of exceptionally significant cultural developments mark the period. The Waxing of the Middle Ages sets out to provide a rich, complex, and diverse study of these developments and to reassert that late medieval France is crucial in its own right. The collection argues for an approach that views the late medieval period not as an afterthought, or a blind spot, but as a period that is key in understanding the fluidity of time, traditions, culture, and history. Each essay explores some “cultural form,” to borrow Huizinga’s expression, to expose the false divide that has dominated modern scholarship.
Images de France
Comment les Français imaginent-ils la France ? Quelle idée les habitants se faisaient-ils du territoire français au cours de l'histoire ? A quels éléments de ses paysages s'intéressaient-ils ? Quelle place lui donnaient-ils dans le monde ? Pour chaque période de l'histoire, ce livre présente des images d'époque qui témoignent de l'idée que les Français se sont fait de leur pays. Il ne s'agit pas de raconter uniquement l'histoire de France, dans un récit linéaire illustré, mais également d'analyser comment ce territoire a été vécu et mis en scène. Certaines images sont célèbres, d'autres inédites, d'autres encore inattendues.
New Approaches to the Archive in the Middle Ages
This volume brings together scholars of history, manuscript studies, and art and architectural history to examine in conversation the varieties of medieval archival acts, the heterogeneity of collections, and the motivations of collectors. It is united by the historically flexible concept of the archive, and contributors examine material from Seville to Prague, from the early Christian period through the Reformation. Premodern collections and archival practices are increasingly becoming the subject of academic inquiry. Chapter authors investigate how institutional, communal, and familial identity accrued to material culture, including illuminated manuscripts, ecclesiastic vestments, ancient ...
Formal Ontology in Information Systems

Ceremonial Entries, Municipal Liberties and the Negotiation of Power in Valois France, 1328-1589
In a fresh examination of the French ceremonial entry, Neil Murphy considers the role these events played in the negotiation between urban elites and the Valois monarchy for rights and liberties. Moving away from the customary focus on the pageantry, this book focuses on how urban governments used these ceremonies to offer the ruler (or his representatives) petitions regarding their rights, liberties and customs. Drawing on extensive research, he shows that ceremonial entries lay at the heart of how the state functioned in later medieval and Renaissance France.

The Routledge Handbook of French History
Aimed firmly at the student reader, this handbook offers an overview of the full range of the history of France, from the origins of the concept of post-Roman "Francia," through the emergence of a consolidated French monarchy and the development of both nation-state and global empire into the modern era, forward to the current complexities of a modern republic integrated into the European Union and struggling with the global legacies of its past. Short, incisive contributions by a wide range of expert scholars offer both a spine of chronological overviews and a diverse spectrum of up-to-date insights into areas of key interest to historians today. From the ravages of the Vikings to the role of gastronomy in the definition of French culture, from Caribbean slavery to the place of Algerians in present-day France, from the role of French queens in medieval diplomacy to the youth-culture explosion of the 1960s and the explosions of France’s nuclear weapons program, this handbook provides accessible summaries and selected further reading to explore any and all of these issues further, in the classroom and beyond.
The French Monarchical Commonwealth, 1356–1560
Offers a new perspective on the nature of political society in the French monarchy, across more than two centuries.
Géographies
Géographies est le premier livre à étudier ce que les Français des XIIe-XVIe siècles savaient de leur pays, riches ou pauvres. Citant 200 poèmes, romans et pièces de théâtre, les quatres parties, divisées en petits chapitres, présentent ce que les Français percevaient de la France (paysage sonore et visuel), ce qu'ils en savaient (productions, monuments, légendes), ce qu'ils en disaient (listes, proverbes) et ce que la culture française signifiait pour eux (langue, vin). La nation française s'est ainsi construite dans la diversité, en façonnant des identités régionales diverses dans le Nord et le Midi. Tout en permettant de découvrir une littérature riche et méconnue, c...
