{"product_id":"town-courts-and-urban-society-richard-goddard-9781783274253","title":"Town Courts and Urban Society in Late Medieval England, 1250-1500","description":"\u003cp\u003eTown courts were the principal institution responsible for the delivery of justice and urban administration within medieval towns. Their records survive in large quantities in archives across England, and they provide an unparalleled insight into the lives and work of thousands of men and women who lived in these towns. The court rolls tell us much about the practice of law at the local level within towns, as well as yielding a broad range of perspectives on the economy, society and administration of towns.\u003cbr\u003e This volume is the first collection dedicated to the analysis of town courts and their records. Through a wide range of approaches, it offers new interpretations of the role that these courts played. It also demonstrates the wide range of uses to which court records can be put to in order to more fully understand medieval urban society. The volume draws on the records of a considerable number of towns and their courts across England, including London, York, Norwich, Lincoln, Nottingham, Lynn, Chester, Bromsgrove and Shipston-on-Stour.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e RICHARD GODDARD is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Nottingham; TERESA PHIPPS is Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of History at Swansea University.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Christopher Dyer, Richard Goddard, Jeremy Goldberg, Alan Kissane, Maryanne Kowaleski, Jane Laughton, Esther Liberman Cuenca, Susan Maddock, Teresa Phipps, Samantha Sagui\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Goddard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783274255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783274253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Goddard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125372023039,"sku":"9781783274253","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26ea1810-4707-4ec7-8b62-d0cc8a7dd6bb.jpg?v=1687442242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/town-courts-and-urban-society-richard-goddard-9781783274253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
