The Songs and Travels of a Tudor Minstrel: Richard Sheale of Tamworth
ISBN: 9781903153390 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard Sheale, a harper and balladeer from Tamworth, is virtually the only English minstrel whose life story is known to us in any detail. It had been thought that by the sixteenth century minstrels had generally been downgraded to the role of mere jesters.

The author shows that under the...
