Lädt ... A Medieval Life: Cecilia Penifader of Brigstock, c. 1297-1344von Judith Bennett
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() This book seems to be intended for use as a textbook in an introductory college course on medieval European history. I think it fits the bill very well. It's quite short, but it packs a lot of information in its less than 150 pages. The information is general enough to be broadly useful (with suggestions for further reading on specific topics), and there's some explanation as to the historiography involved. The author chose the old method of looking at a single, real person from that era whose life happened to be well-documented, and then reconstructing the world around them. Having already read many books on medieval history, I didn't learn very much from this one. But I think this would be a great book for college freshmen to start out with in their history classes. A good video companion would be Terry Jones's excellent Medieval Lives series. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
This history of medieval village life is told through the experiences of Cecilia Penifader, a peasant woman who lived on one English manor in the early fourteenth century. This truly unique book offers a wealth of insight into medieval peasant society, bringing many of the characteristics of a time and a people to life. Short and readable, it is an ideal text for undergraduate teaching, suitable for courses in Western civilization, medieval history, women's history, and English history.
