Descripción del artículo del vendedor

2004 British Library Publishing hardcover edition. Some reading wear, dustjacket stuck to boards else good condition. From the dustjacket: The Middle Ages have long been famous for spectacular forgeries. Until recently, however, there has been little detailed consideration of the cultural significance of forged texts. In The Making of Medieval Forgeries, Alfred Hiatt examines for the first time the function of forged documents in late medieval politics and society. This book explores not simply why forgeries were produced, but also the often successful role they played in substantiating personal and institutional histories. In whose interests was it to forge documents? What kinds of narratives were enshrined in forgery? And why did forgery so often escape detection? The Making of Medieval Forgeries argues that medieval forgeries were not simply acts of deception, but attempts to invest historical narratives with the authority of written record. Hiatt examines in detail cases of forgeries produced by and for monasteries, universities, and the English government itself, and finds that forgeries show a sustained and often creative engagement with the past. Hiatt also charts the emergence of new approaches to the criticism of forgery, in the process challenging a number of long-held assumptions about the birth of modern critical thought. A close study of fifteenth-century criticism of the famous 'Donation of Constantine' reveals that the identification of forgeries was no less ideologically motivated than their perpetration. Indeed, medieval forgeries emerge from this study as a fascinating paradox: an illegitimate form of historical writing crucial to the expression of personal, institutional, and national identities, whose repudiation became central to the formation of modern discourses of authenticity and value.
