Description

The Oxford Illustrated History of Medieval England brings to life a pivotal period in British history. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 pictures, this comprehensive volume offers an authoritative overview of medieval England from the departure of the Roman legions to the rise of the Tudors. The book explores the social, cultural, and religious life of the period, covering topics such as national identity, urban life, art and architecture, religious practice, and vernacular literature. It also delves into the main political changes that shaped the time-span, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the rule of the Normans and Angevins, and the late middle ages. With a focus on the economic and social impact of significant events such as famines and the Black Death, this superb volume provides a wealth of information on medieval England.
