Paul Strohms strikingly original . . . book offers rich opportunities for thinking about the relationships between textual analysis and historical understanding. . . . [His] analysis of Lancastrian texts and imagination will undoubtedly prove immensely energizing in medieval English literary and cultural studies. If its full implications for medieval history are also recognized and explored, its impact will be even more profound and enduring. -Review of English Studies
P>Review "Englands Empty Throne . . . confirms Paul Strohms extraordinary ability to disclose and interpret elements of social and political contestation in texts produced in late medieval England, even (or especially) when such disclosure seems farthest from the overt intent of their composers or sponsors." --Arthuriana"[Henry IVs] usurpation stands exposed as a scandalous rupture in the line of succession. Strohms powerfully argued book deals with the usurpers efforts to mend the rift with lies and propaganda, and explores the unpredictable and often fantastical forms in which the Lancastrian repressed staged its return. . . ." --Times Literary Supplement"Paul Strohms strikingly original . . . book offers rich opportunities for thinking about the relationships between textual analysis and historical understanding. . . .

As such, Strohm interrogates not only literary works from the likes of Hoccleve and Lydgate, but narrative chronicles, legal documents, and prophetic utterances." --Bulletin of International Medieval Research About the Author: Paul Strohm is Anna S.
