Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Paston letters have long exercised a tremendous fascination for their capacity to recreate in vivid detail the lives of an ordinary well-to-do fifteenth-century family. H. S. Bennett's classic study recreates beautifully their historical context and offers the additional perspectives provided by the letters of their correspondents: bishops and serving men, prisoners and dukes, priests and ribald companions. Among the intriguing areas of late medieval life which are explored are marriage, women's lives, education, travelling, the law and lawlessness, the clergy and the changing face of the English countryside. This account of the Pastons' England reveals an age of historical transition as it was played out in the daily challenges of individual lives.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Slight foxing to back cover. The Paston Letters represent the thought and activities of a typical English squire's family in the fifteenth century. They were not people of any particular genius, but ordinary well-to-do folk. They found, as did most of their neighbours, that if they wished to hold. or still more to increase what possessions they had, it was necessary to fight vigorously with every weapon law, use, experience or cunning could devise. Hence, a study of their many-sided activities allows us to form a clear idea of the conditions under which they lived, while the letters of their friends and many correspondents help to complete and to widen the viewpoint. They received letters from Bishops or serving-men, prisoners of Dukes, priests or ribald companions; and all help us to reconstruct the social history and life of their times. 279 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
