English Life and Manners in the Later Middle Ages (Routledge Revivals)

This title, first published in 1919, comprehensively explores the fabrics of late medieval society. Largely concentrating on the years between the start of the Black Death in 1348 and the end of the fifteenth century, a period in which we see important developments in the character and organisation of medieval England, chapters discuss the make-up of social order, life in a medieval town, the position of women in society, and the Church’s relationship with the laity.
