REED Colleagues will be pleased to learn that Matthew Davies and
Andrew Prescott have edited a festschrift in honur of REED Executive
Board Member Caroline Barron.
London and the Kingdom
(<http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/85366>Shaun Tyas: ISBN
9781900289917), edited by Matthew Davies and Andrew Prescott,
consists of twenty-five papers given at the 2004 Harlaxton Conference
on topics that address London from many different perspectives,
including the London accent and the language of London schoolchildren
in the Middle Ages, taxation and its evasion, the medieval English
hospital, women as apprentices, wives and widows, and their
representation on tombs, and, reflecting Caroline's interest in
Richard II, papers on Richard II's London, the Peasants' Revolt and
Yorkist kingship.
Congratulations Caroline!
