- W239066257 abstract "REVIEWS C. M. Woolgar, The Great Household in Late Medieval England (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1999) 288 pp., 54 black and white and 24 color photos, 8 maps, and 11 tables. In The Great Household in Late Medieval England, C. M. Woolgar undertakes to combine a finely detailed description of the daily life of the late medieval nobility and gentry with an assessment of the social and material forces that shaped it over time. Woolgar distinguishes his work from previous studies that have approached the topic of the household in the limited context of a specific subject such as servants, entertainment, or knighthood. 43 Instead, he sets out to present the medieval “household in use,” examining the “basic characteristics of the household—size, membership, dynamics, economics, social con- text”(3). The material Woolgar has gathered is truly engaging, both for the vivid picture it conveys and because the author frequently lays bare his methodology, demonstrating how documentary data can be inter- preted to reconstruct a feast, a stable, or a funeral. The book addresses population, service, architectural plan, schedule, meals and other as- pects of household life in a series of loosely-connected chapters. Drawing on household accounts, ordinances, archaeological sources, and contemporary treatises, Woolgar is able to show that the physical design, rituals, and organization of the household grew more elaborate between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. He attempts to tie these changes to increased social stratification, a phenomenon he demon- strates in the first chapter (“Household Antiquities”) with reference to the development and growth of the peerage 44 and a survey of gentle and noble incomes (5). The inference is that, given additional means, the nobility were able to emulate the lifestyle of the king, and gentle fami- lies that of the nobility, which resulted in the development of more elaborate household practices. 45 While financial data is sufficient to In addition, he notes, “Much work has been coloured by an emphasis on bastard feudalism. ... Other deficiencies lie in those works looking at life in the medieval house- hold which are centred primarily on the architectural setting or its archaeology ... (2). “There were 11 earldoms in existence at the end of Edward I’s reign. ... During the fourteenth century, a further 24 non-royal earldoms were created. With the establishment of other ranks—dukedoms, marquisates—and the persistence of baronies, there were probably 60 to 70 families who were effectively distinguished by what became a heredi- tary right to receive a summons to Parliament” (4). “There will be found many examples of the use of limited resources husbanded to" @default.
