A Great Daily Life Resource for Medieval Times,
By Melissa Cockayne (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Household in Late Medieval England (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a medieval "Daily Life" reference book that provides abundant detail for topics such as hospitality toward guests, food and drink, entertainment, and domestic routines, this is the one. This book begins by providing the big picture of the medieval household with an overview of the typical size and it then touches on the role played by every member from servants to clergy to the nobility. It also has beautiful and useful illustrations that help bring all those domestic details to life. All in all, in addition to being a reference source (there is a comprehensive subject index) this book provides an enjoyable insight into the medieval society for anyone interested in the time period. Enjoy!
