First published in 1969,Conflict and Stability in Fifteenth-Century Englandis a study of a much neglected and misinterpreted century of English history-the century of the Wars of the Roses which, the author shows, had only a comparatively small effect on English life. Other sections discuss the economic repercussions of the Black Death, the literature and architecture of the times, religion and Anglo-papal relations on the eve of the Reformation, and the gradual beginnings of Tudor government.
