Opis

By drawing equally on the work of historians and archaeologists, this text puts forward a view of English medieval society in which there is much that is new and unexpected. It brings together a wide range of themes, from castle and palace to peasant hovel, from the great cathedrals and monasteries to the parish church and alien cells. The book is fully illustrated, the pictures being an integral part of the text. For this re-issue Professor Platt has written a new preface which updates the work with a survey of archaeological and historical developments in the last decade.
