Popular voices in England's Wars of the Roses, c. 1445 - c. 1485

Abstract:
This paper looks at popular political speech during the civil conflicts in fifteenth-century England, known as the Wars of the Roses (c. 1450‑c.1485). It challenges the notion of ‘hidden transcripts’, arguing that the ‘hegemonic discourses’ in play in this context permitted - even invited - certain forms of popular vocality and political action, provided that these could be taken as ‘common’ (in the sense of ‘universal’).
