About the book

"Romance and the gentry in late medieval England offers a new history of Middle English romance, the most popular genre of secular literature in the English middle ages. Michael Johnston argues that many of the romances composed in England from 1350-1500 arose in response to the specific socio-economic concerns of the gentry, the class of English landowners who lacked titles of nobility and hence occupied the lower rungs of the aristocracy." -- Publisher's description.
