hardcover. Condition: Very Good.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This collection of letters covers three generations of an important Norfolk family during the 15th century. It brings to life a period poised between medieaval and modern history, as fuedalism collapsed and England was divided by the Wars of the Roses. The Paston family during this period were soldiers and students, lawyers and landowners, courtiers and members of Parliament. Their correspondence gives the reader an intimate picture of everyday life on one hand; on the other it portrays a family on the fringes of great events. First hand accounts range from battles in the Wars of the Roses, to preparation of the defences against French invasion. Contemporary illustrations and current photographs relate the people to the places where they lived. Special features expand issues raised in the letters to give concerns of rural life, or by commenting on 15th century attitudes to love, sex, learning and the law. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Free and pastedown rear endpapers adhering (aboriginal fault). Near fine condition. "On the one hand, the private correspondence of the Pastons gives us an astonishingly intimate picture of everyday life in the fifteenth century - a family saga of rifts and reconciliations, a record of births, elopements, marriages and deaths. On the other hand, it portrays a family on the fringes of great events. Throughout the pages of the letters strut the makers of history: the rebel Jack Cade, for example, Warwick the Kingmaker and a succession of five English monarchs. First-hand accounts range from battles in the Wars of the Roses to preparations for the defence of the realm against the invasion by the French. In this fresh selection, made by the medieval historian Dr Roger Virgoe, the letters are newly edited into accessible English and are illustrated to give the reader a window on the world of the fifteenth century.".…
