Writing to the King

Writing to the King: Nation, Kingship and Literature in England, 1250–1350 In this book David Matthews explores political critique - in Anglo-Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English - in the century before Chaucer, highlighting its frequent direction to the king. He shows that the monarch was clearly not intended to be the direct recipient; instead, the rhetoric was used to make political comment more effective.
