Description

Discover the hidden world of English castles at the end of the Middle Ages with this compelling exploration by Matthew Johnson. Moving beyond traditional views of castles as mere defensive structures or displays of wealth, this book reframes them as dynamic spaces where people lived, worked, and performed social roles. Johnson invites readers to look behind the castle gate and understand how these buildings functioned as stage-settings for the everyday interactions between lords and servants, husbands and wives, fathers and sons. By examining the processes of building, rebuilding, and inhabiting castles, the author reveals how these structures shaped and reflected the lives of their inhabitants, offering fresh insights into medieval and Renaissance domestic life and social hierarchy.

Key Features

Matthew Johnson's analysis reinterprets English castles as social spaces rather than purely military or economic statements.

The book examines how castle inhabitants performed roles within architectural stage-settings of their own homes.

Johnson explores the relationship between building practices, domestic life, and the expression of power in medieval and Renaissance castles.

This Routledge publication offers a new perspective on castle function by focusing on the people who lived within them.
