The Cloister and the Hearth: A Tale of the Middle Ages is Charles Reade’s sweeping romance of love and sacrifice in Renaissance Europe. Inspired by the life of Erasmus’s father, the story captures the turbulence of the 15th century, from the plague and superstition to the glory of art and faith.

Gerard Eliassoen and Margaret Brandt share a deep love, but fate forces Gerard into a life of wandering that takes him across the continent. Along the way, he faces hardship, temptation, and the ultimate conflict between earthly love and religious duty.

Combining historical accuracy with gripping narrative, Reade creates a novel that is both adventurous and profoundly moving. With Evelyn Paul’s evocative illustrations, this edition brings new life to a timeless tale—perfect for readers of historical romance, medieval fiction, and classic literature.
