Art of Solidarity in the Middle Ages - Rosser, Gervase (Lecturer in medieval history and the history of art, Lecturer in medieval history and the history of art, St Catherine's College, University of Oxford)

Why did many thousands of men and women join a guild in medieval England? Gervase Rosser explores the conception and workings of these family-like societies through the experiences of their participants, setting them in a wider European context, and in relation to today's debates about individual identity and fulfilment in society.
