Abstract | The sources, content and readership of the Middle English Brut chronicle are of major importance for the understanding of the relationships of power and authority expressed in vernacular texts in late medieval England. The three papers in this session complement the other session with the same topic, bringing new approaches to the Brut: gender reading, ownership, and chivalric influences. |
