Detailed examination of the letters of Edward I reveals them to be powerful and sophisticated political tools.

Highly commended for the Royal Studies Journal Book Prize, 2022

As formulaic in appearance as they are abundant in the archives, it is easy to underestimate the power of the letters generated by medieval governments, but these acts of communication were more than mere containers of information. Operating at the intersection of the spoken and the written, the performed and the observed, they produced a discourse that maximized royal authority and promoted solidarity between sender and recipient. This book situates letters within medieval theories of composition and habits of reception, to argue that even mundane letters of governance were rhetorical texts. It focuses on the example of Edward I of England, whose rhetorical prowess was noted, often critically, by contemporaries. It shows how the king's correspondence varied in tone, vocabulary and structure across his reign and between recipients, revealing an unexpected dynamism of political discourse. Moving between historical context and close readings of individual letters, this volume identifies letter-writing as an art through which the king and his government attempted to negotiate and mould relationships with political communities and diplomatic interlocutors alike.

[ An] interesting, dynamic and hugely important contribution to our understanding of the period. -- HISTORY AUSTRALIA Kathleen Neal's first monograph is an outstanding contribution, not only to the study of Edward I's letters, but also to the understanding of letter-writing, rhetoric, and epistolarity in general, and constitutes a model for future work in royal correspondence. -- ROYAL STUDIES JOURNAL An impressive work... offers an important and much-needed study of medieval letters and the language of power, using Edward I's letters to illustrate how language was manipulated to sustain models of power and authority. * SPECULUM *
