Gender and changing foodways in England’s late-medieval bourgeois households
By the late Middle Ages, new varieties of dishware, clothing, and furniture were increasingly produced in and imported into English cities.

À la fin de l’époque médiévale, la production et l’importation d’une nouvelle vaisselle, d’une nouvelle mode vestimentaire et d’un nouveau mobilier s’accélèrent dans les villes d’Angleterre. L’acquisition, l’usage et l’entretien d’une gamme de plus en plus large de produits manufacturés n’a pas seulement rendu plus aisée la vie des marchands et des artisans, mais les a transformés eux-mêmes. Cependant l’usage et le sens des objets – les spécialistes de la culture matérielle l’ont bien montré – n’est pas stable. Selon certains archéologues, la vaisselle qui commence à se répandre change peu à peu les habitudes de table avec des conséquences sur l’ordre de genre au sein du foyer. Cet article examine deux textes littéraires du Moyen Âge tardif qui décrivent des banquets exclusivement réservés aux femmes, pour évaluer l’effet de ces changements dans la culture matérielle sur les relations entre maris et femmes. |

| description |
By the late Middle Ages, new varieties of dishware, clothing, and furniture were increasingly produced in and imported into English cities. The acquisition, use, and care of an expanding array of manufactured goods, not only made merchant and artisan lives more comfortable, it made them who they were. Yet as material culture scholars have repeatedly shown, the use and meaning of objects is neither stable nor guaranteed. Archaeologists argue that the new variety of dishware available gradually changed urban eating habits, with consequences for gender relations within the household. By reading two late medieval literary descriptions of all-women’s dinner parties against these material changes, this article looks at the impact of changing material culture on household dynamics. |
