Medieval England: A Social History and Archaeology from the Conquest to 1600 AD

by PaulE.Szarmach (Editor), TeresaM.Tavormina (Editor), JoelT.Rosenthal (Editor)

Synopsis

By drawing equally on the work of historians and archaeologists, Colin Platt puts forward a view of English medieval society in which there is much that is new and unexpected. Medieval England brings together a wide range of themes, from castle and palace to peasant hovel, from the great cathedrals and monasteries to the parish churches 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 survay of archaeological and historical developments in the last decade.
