Daily Life in the Late Middle Ages by R H Britnell

What was life like in the towns and villages of medieval England? A group of experts bring together the results of their research to tell this story, from the time of Agincourt to the establishment of the Tudor monarchy. The full range of medieval life is covered, from the town life of medieval York and London to the life of peasants in the Durham and Warwickshire countryside. Drawing on firsthand accounts, the study tells of leisure pursuits, religious practices, fashions, life at home and in the workshop or field, with sections on women in late medieval households, the peasant economy, the role of money in rent payments, and the changing features of parish religion before the Reformation. Through its carefully observed historical examples, this text illuminates many of the debates on society and social change in the late Middle Ages and offers both an introduction to medieval culture and a overview of life in medieval town and country.
