The Illustrated History of Late Medieval England - Hardcover
The late Middle Ages (c.1200-1500) was an age of transition. The major events of this period - the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, the rise of Parliament, the deposition of five English kings between 1327-1483 are examined in this volume. Also discussed are the sub-currents running through English society during these years, such as the slow decline of serfdom, the triumph of the English language, the rise of the judicial and medical professions, and the growth of religious non-conformity in the century and a half before the reformation. The 11 chapters, each written by an expert in the field, highlight these developments, while chapters on art and literature emphasize the range of English achievement in the age of Chaucer, Langland and the Wilton Diptych.
