Description: "The late Middle Ages were one of the most dramatic and turbulent periods in Britain's history. This brilliant book re-creates every aspect of life during an era of rebellion, civil war and plague. It ranges over the events that tore the country apart, from the Black Death to the Peasants' Revolt and the Wars of the Roses; the great and terrible kings immortalized in Shakespeare's plays; the texture of ordinary lives, from monks to merchants; as well as the age's rich artistic and literary legacy that continues to enthrall us today.
