| Summary: | Among the most popular books in Renaissance England, treatises on heraldry are of more than technical interest. Along with discussing the correct description of coats of arms, works such as Ferne's Blazon of Gentrie, Bossewell's Workes of Armorie, Legh's Accedens of Armorie, or Guillim's A Display of Heraldrie shared the theoretical concerns of the courtesy books and treatises of nobility. Packed full of arcane information and remarkable "historical" accounts, these works are not only important sources for the study of Renaissance thought, especially on social order and the nature of nobility, but they are also important sources for the study of English literature as well as being remarkable literary works in their own right. |
