Description

Explore the rich history of King and Commoner tales in this detailed study by Routledge. This book examines a literary tradition that spans from the late medieval period through the early modern era, influencing everything from Robin Hood ballads to Shakespearean national histories. This research provides the first in-depth look at how these stories developed. It traces the evolution of the genre through highly politicized fifteenth-century comic tales and early modern ballads. You will learn how the motif of an incognito king lost in the forest creates a space for interaction between royalty and the working class. By studying these encounters, readers gain insight into how commoners expressed grievances regarding class oppression and poaching. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of literature, history, and politics during these transformative centuries.
