England under the Norman and Angevin Kings by Robert Bartlett
This lively and far-reaching account of the politics, religion, and culture of England in the century and a half after the Norman Conquest provides a vivid picture of everyday existence, and increases our understanding of all aspects of medieval society. There are colourful details of the everyday life of ordinary men and women, with their views on the past, on sexuality, on animals, on death, the undead, and the occult. The result is a fascinating and comprehensive portrayal of a period which begins with conquest and ends in assimilation.
Splendid..this is a fine book which transports the reader into a different, strange world...It deserves a wide readership and should stimulate renewed interest in this important period of English history * Continuity and Change *
