Medieval England

TRAMA

"Medieval England" provides a vital and fascinating historical context for medieval archaeology. Colin Platt's archaeological expertise and use of historical sources combine to form a rich cross-disciplinary study. His resulting vision of England medieval society is challenging and often unexpected. The book is divided into seven periods, from the Norman Conquest in 1066 to the aftermath of the Black Death and finally up to 1600 and the reorientation of English society under the Tudors.

NOTE EDITORE

By drawing equally on the work of historians and archaeologists, Colin Platt puts forward a view of English medieval society in which there is much that is new and unexpected. Medieval England brings together a wide range of themes, from castle and palace to peasant hovel, from the great cathedrals and monasteries to the parish churches and `alien' cells. The book is fully illustrated, the pictures being an integral part of the text.For this re-issue Professor Platt has written a new preface which updates the work with a survay of archaeological and historical developments in the last decade.
