Book Description
Excerpt from Six Town Chronicles of England: Edited From Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, the Library of St. John's College, Oxford, the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, and the Library of the Marquis of Bath at Longleat Town Chronicles have long been accorded a place, albeit a humble one, in the field of historical literature, but only within the last few years has it been possible to attempt anything like an exhaustive survey Of them. For London, with which in this connexion no other English cities or towns may be compared, more than a score of chronicles, differing very much in date of compilation, length, and value, are now accessible. Further, critical examination of the existing versions has shown that in not a few cases they have been compiled from London chronicles not now extant, so that the total number is considerably larger than the list of seven drawn up more than fifty years ago as inclusive of all the Chronicles of London.1 Similarly there have been discovered many chronicles for towns other than London, which, although as a rule written at a somewhat later date and of less value, still merit consideration in any treatment of the subject as a whole.

Book Description
Accounts of Jack Cade's 1450 Rebellion-an uprising of some 30,000 middle-class citizens, protesting Henry VI's policies, and resulting in hundreds of deaths as well as the leaders' execution-form the dominant entry in a group of quasi-historical documents referred to as the London chronicles of the Fifteenth Century. However, each chronicle is inherently different and highly subjective. In the first study of the primary documents related to the Cade Rebellion, Alexander L. Kaufman shows that the chroniclers produced multiple representations of the event rather than a single, unified narrative. Aided by contemporary theories of historiography and historical representation, Kaufman scrutinizes the differing representations and distinguishes the writers' objectiveness, their underrated literary skills, and their ideological positions on the rebellion and fifteenth-century politics. He demonstrates how the use of figurative language is related to writing about trauma, and how descriptions of Cade's procession through London are a violent parody of midsummer festivals. In an exploration of authenticity in the descriptions of Cade, Kaufman also examines the characterization and plot devices that push Cade towards the realm of myth, showing that representations of Cade are influenced by popular fifteenth-century stories of Robin Hood.
