Description
London, a Fourteenth-Century City and Its People by Kathryn Warner This social history of medieval London offers a unique perspective on one of Europe's largest cities during a transformative period. The fourteenth century was marked by significant political and natural disasters, as well as the rise and fall of empires across the globe. Through a rich variety of primary sources, including the Assize of Nuisance, Coroners' Rolls, and household accounts, this chronicle brings to life the daily lives of London's inhabitants, including foreigners and foes alike. The narrative spans the first half of the fourteenth century, from the start of the century to the first mass outbreak of the Black Death in the late 1340s. By examining these sources, Warner builds a vivid and multi-layered picture of London's residents, who lived through one of the most turbulent and exciting periods in European history. Hardcover, 209 pages.
