Medieval England

By drawing equally on the work of historians and archaeologists Colin Platt puts forward a view of English medieval society in which there is much that is new and unexpected. Medieval England brings together a wide range of themes from castle and palace to peasant hovel from the great cathedrals and monasteries to the parish churches and `alien' cells. The book is fully illustrated the pictures being an integral part of the text.For this re-issue Professor Platt has written a new preface which updates the work with a survay of archaeological and historical developments in the last decade.
