Partner with SAGE to develop your Medieval Leadership Case

Series Editors

Rhonda Knight, PhD, Coker University and Eric Litton, PhD, Coker University

SAGE Publishing continues to grow its teaching case collection, SAGE Business Cases, across the business spectrum while incorporating thought from a variety of disciplines. A Medieval Leadership collection within SAGE Business Cases will explore the idea of leadership through literature, history, philosophy, religion, and material culture. We are interested in sources from the diverse cultures of the medieval world, not merely limited to the Christian West. We also seek to represent an inclusive array of individuals and leadership scenarios in medieval societies, especially in terms of gender, social status, economic class, and occupation. 

Case studies about medieval leadership might include:

• Portraits of effective or ineffective leadership in historical texts, such as those found in Adam of Usk, Al-Jahiz, Ailred of Rievaulx, Einhard, Froissart, and John Lydgate;

• Examples of effective or ineffective leadership in literary texts; genres might include romances, lyrics, hagiographies, mystery plays, sagas, or exempla;

• Extracts and analysis from the western Mirrors for Princes genre, such as Dhuoda’s Liber manualis, John of Salisbury’s Policraticus, Brunetto Latini’s, Li livres dou trésor, Gerald of Wales’ De instructione principis, the Konungs skuggsjá and the works of Christine de Pizan;

• Extracts and analysis from Islamic Nasîhatnâme and other Near Eastern, Eastern, and African advice literature;

• Portrayals of religious figures as advisors and leaders;

• Uses of Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Plato, Plutarch, Socrates, Xenophon, and other ancient authors to discuss medieval leadership;

• Examinations of effective or ineffective leadership in cloistered communities, trade or social guilds, or civic governments.
