The essays collected here present the fruits of new research into a wide range of topics, offering insights into all the most important aspects of life at the time. Thevolume opens with a major survey of Kent's economic history and development during the period in question; subsequent chapters consider agriculture; ship-building; the Kentish nobility and their role in regional and national politics; religious houses; heresy; magic; and the parish church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dr Sheila Sweetinburgh teaches in the Department of English, University of Kent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Mavis Mate, Bruce Campbell, Gillian Draper, Peter Fleming, David Grummitt, Malcolm Mercer, Barry Dobson, Elizabeth Edwards, Sheila Sweetinburgh, Robert Lutton, Karen Jones","brand":"Sheila Sweetinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50520900206843,"sku":"9780851155845","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_6ce008ca-eaa0-4e88-9483-9798f08f6da8.jpg?v=1790151542","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/later-medieval-kent-1220-1540-9780851155845","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
