Life in Medieval Times

Front Cover
Penguin, 1973 M11 20 - 224 pages
An age of chivalry, color, and faith from which the modern world still draws inspiration—or centuries of violence, squalor, and superstition best forgotten? Marjorie Rowling refreshingly avoids any such extreme judgments so often passed on the Middle Ages. Instead, she looks closely at some of the people who lived and worked in that fascinating era of European history.
