Description
The 14th century gives us back two contradictory images: a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and a dark time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world More...plunged into a chaos of war, fear and the Plague. Barbara Tuchman anatomizes the century, revealing both the great rhythms of history and the grain and texture of domestic life as it was lived: what childhood was like; what marriage was like; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. - from Amzon
