Description

The Chronicles by Jean Froissart offer a vivid portrayal of fourteenth-century England and France, capturing the essence of the Hundred Years War and the tumultuous reigns of Edward II and Richard II. This comprehensive record depicts the bravery of knights in battle at key sites such as Sluys, Crecy, Calais, and Poitiers. Beyond the battlefield, Froissart's work provides a detailed account of medieval life, including the Peasants' Revolt and the complexities of trading activities and diplomacy. Written with a keen eye for character and custom, The Chronicles evoke the spirit of chivalry in a bygone era. Published by National Geographic Books, this Penguin Classic features an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
