Books by Katherine L. French

Household Goods and Good Households in Late Medieval London looks at how increased consumption in the aftermath of the Black Death reconfigured long-held gender roles and changed the domestic lives of London's merchants and artisans for years to come.

"Katherine French puts a human face on the history of the English medieval parish between the end of the fourteenth century and the Reformation."-Carol Davidson-Cragoe, TMR

Offering a methodological and disciplinary range, from political history to social history, this title features contributors who tackle subjects from 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.
