Description

Explore the connection between gender and power in fifteenth century England with this scholarly work from Routledge. Kingship and Masculinity in Late Medieval England examines how discourses of masculinity shaped the way kings were perceived, praised, and critiqued during a transformative era. Author Katherine J. Lewis focuses on the reigns of Henry V and Henry VI to reveal how gendered rhetoric influenced political life. While many historians focus on traditional political structures, this book looks at the often overlooked role of gender in the language used by contemporaries. These discussions were used for various political goals, including eulogizing successful monarchs or providing justifications for the deposition of others. This text provides a deep look into the fifteenth century, offering a new perspective on how the concept of masculinity served as a tool for both praise and political maneuvering. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the Plantagenets, medieval history, and the social construction of leadership.
