description: Who were the major figures that shaped English society at this crucial, and somewhat brutal, stage? Who managed to come through umpteen decades of harsh living, foul disease, rats, terrifying capital punishment, more rats and squalor with reputations that would shine through into the present - and are sure to illuminate the future? Movers and Shakers of Medieval England holds the answers. With chapters on such subjects as Artists &amp; Muses, Inspired Inventors and Literary Legends, it is an entertaining historical primer - a printed time-machine for a whistle-stop tour.
