Goods and possessions in late medieval England
Manage episode 295768487 series 2889048
Goods and possessions offer us ways into understanding how late medieval people saw the world and their position in it. In this talk, Christopher Woolgar discusses objects of daily life, their significance and the meaning of material culture (what we might understand as ‘people’s stuff') in late medieval England, to reveal changes in mentality that came with a long-term social revolution, in the quantities and types of goods people had, and the lengths to which elites in particular went to ensure continued possession of prestigious items within their families.
Speaker: Professor Christopher Woolgar FBA, Emeritus Professor of History and Archival Studies, University of Southampton
