[A]mbitious and entertaining. * JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY * For readers interested in the interplay among household objects, spaces, and ideology in late medieval England, this book provides an essential resource. * SPECULUM * Offers a rich and insightful discussion of the nature of the bed, providing material not just for medievalists but for historians exploring such questions in later centuries. * PARERGON * [W]ell worth reading: not only for medievalists (whether historians or not), but also for social and cultural historians of other eras who are interested in just how complex the relationship between spaces, objects, and representations can be, even for something as taken for granted as a bed. * AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW * Morgan has provided new approaches to the cultural history of England in the late Middle Ages. * THE RICARDIAN * [O]pens up important discussions for the relationship between the literary and physical world. * CANADIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY * Morgan's beautifully produced study of beds and chambers helps the reader to understand how their symbolism shaped relationships in late medieval England. . . . [A] delightful read that will be appreciated by scholars and students in a wide variety of fields. -- Sara M. Butler * Journal of British Studies *
