Medieval PeopleMethuen, 1963 - 210 páginas "Medieval People is an account of the lives of six persons during the Middle Ages: a Frankish peasant; Marco Polo, the Venetian traveler; Madame Eglentyne, prioress of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales; a middle-class Parisian housewife; two English merchants, one engaged in the wool trade and the other an Essex clothier. The author has illustrated various aspects of social life of the era by drawing on such sources as account books, diaries, letters, records, and wills. A hitherto unpublished essay by Eileen Power has been added to the present edition. Entitled "The Precursors," this essay describes the barbarian conquest of Rome."--back cover. |
