This dissertation examines how some Middle English writers bring the conventions of estates literature together with an emerging and evolving “literature of sovereignty” and thereby identify the individual as both a political subject and a target of regulatory authority. In these texts, the estate becomes a metonymy for rather than a definition of one's obligations to the polity as a whole. For the authors considered, estates do no order the polity. Instead, order results from self-governance in accordance with a generalized Christian morality as expressed in the law of the realm, self- governance of the kind counseled in earlier Latin productions such as the Secretum Secretorum, Giles of Rome's De Regimine Principum and Henry Bracton's De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae. Ultimately, by removing the estate as a filter between self and realm, Middle English authors begin a radical transformation of the corporate metaphor. In the traditional medieval conception of the body politic, no single body marked as it is by its affiliation with a particular estate, can adequately represent the political whole; it can only represent that part of which it is itself a part, the head, heart, hands, etc. In a body politic unblemished by functional partitions, individual bodies become much more fungible, and the individual can more readily act as a representative of the whole. By enabling a new metaphorical relationship between the individual and society, medieval authors enabled new ways of thinking about political participation and the relationship between the governors and the governed.
"In this chapter, I would like to consider how two fifteenth-century authors, Thomas Hoccleve, in his Regiment of Princes, and the anonymous author of Dives and Pauper, once again configure a substantive question of law in jurisdictional terms. Both authors confront the criminalization of heresy as a sort of turf-war where jurisdictional overreaching threatens to destabilize the political forms and quite possibly criminalize hermeneutic practices that identify the individual subject as both the site and agent of social and institutional reform. Although neither author goes so far as to argue the crime of heresy should be abolished altogether, they are very careful to corral its definition within the confines of a largely theological debate over issues such as the actual presence of Christ in the eucharist and the role of pilgrimage and the veneration of images in religious observance. At the same time, they continue the cultural work of the literature of sovereignty by absorbing the institutional church, along with the two remaining estates and the various other communities that live and operate within the geographical locus of England, into the broader spiritual communitas of the realm."

A Wrinkle in Medieval Time: Ironing Out the Issues of Race, Temporality and the Early English2022 •
The field of Early English studies (formerly Anglo-Saxon studies) is both founded on and operates within the parameters of white supremacy. Currently, the field is grappling with questions concerning who it represents, how it reflects on the world, and likewise the boundaries of the period. This analysis surveys the history of the field, investigates its periodization dates and interrogates our diminished understanding of this time in early medieval history, due in part, to the field's continued restrictiveness in terms of periodization. This paper examines how these constraints prevent us from interacting and working with other fields, and limit ways in which we can enrich our understanding of the past and today.
"My goal in this chapter is to reconsider Wilks’s narrative of influences. I would like to explore the possibility that the idea of an absolute but nevertheless still limited monarch, as it emerges in English literature of the fourteenth century, may draw at least as much from a distinctly English debate regarding the legal and metaphorical relationship between the king and his subjects as it does from continental political theory. My argument will proceed primarily through an examination of two of the most significant and influential legal treatises written during the medieval period in England, Henry de Bracton’s De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae and the anonymously-authored, vernacular French treatise known as Britton. Both texts have been dated to the thirteenth century. Thus they are roughly contemporary with and perhaps even predate the influential work of Giles of Rome, Thomas Aquinas and Jacob de Cessolis. As texts that were apparently in relatively wide circulation in England by the beginning of the fourteenth century, they suggest the existence of English as well as continental origins for a Middle English literature of sovereignty. Taken together, they also tend to show that from an early period, English authors were concerned with the problem of whether and to what extent the king could serve as a model for the political subject more generally."
