Ritual and ceremony played key roles in this acculturation process. In Ceremony and Civility, Barbara A. Hanawalt shows how, in the late Middle Ages, London's elected officials and elites used ceremony and ritual to establish their legitimacy and power. In a society in which hierarchical authority was most commonly determined by inheritance of title and office, or sanctified by ordination, civic officials who had been elected to their posts relied on rituals to cement their authority and dominance. Elections and inaugurations had to be very public and visually distinct in order to quickly communicate with the masses: the robes of office needed to distinguish the officers so that everyone would know who they were. The result was a colorful civic pageantry. Newcomers found their places within this structure in various ways. Apprentices entering the city to take up a trade were educated in civic culture by their masters. Gilds similarly used rituals, oath swearing, and distinctive livery to mark their members' belonging. But these public shows of belonging and orderly civic life also had a dark side. Those who rebelled against authority and broke the civic ordinances were made spectacles through ritual humiliations and public parades through the streets so that others could take heed of these offenders of the law. An accessible look at late medieval London through the lens of civic ceremonies and dispute resolution, Ceremony and Civility synthesizes archival research with existing scholarship to show how an ever-shifting population was enculturated into premodern London"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-219) and index. 505 0 $a Chapter 1: The Urban Environment -- Chapter 2: The City and the Crown -- Chapter 3: Civic Rituals and Elected Officials -- Chapter 4: Rebellion and Submission -- Chapter 5: Gilds as Incubators for Citizenship -- Chapter 6: Civic Lessons for the Masses -- Conclusion -- Glossary. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y To 1500. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a City and town life $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Political culture $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Acculturation $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Citizenship $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Courtesy $x History $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Political customs and rites $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $z London $z London $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a HISTORY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hanawalt, Barbara A., 1941- author. $t Ceremony and civility $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2017 $z 9780190490416 $w (DLC) 2017021601 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022755.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1CB26A4E7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
