'Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . No one has ever done this better' New York Review of Books
It has been said that 'no epoch was more naturally mad'. On the one hand the fourteenth century was a time of fabled crusades and chivalry, of glittering cathedrals and princely splendour; on the other, it was an age of social chaos and spiritual agony, pocked by plague.
Here, Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Barbara Tuchman captures both the great rhythms of history and the grain and texture of daily life - what childhood and marriage were like; how money, taxes and war dominated the lives of serf, noble and clergy alike; how death came for all, even the most skilful of knights.
Granting her subjects their beauties, treacheries and guilty passions, Tuchman synthesizes the lives of proud cardinals, riotous students, feminists, innkeepers, saints and mercenaries over a vast canvas. The result is an astonishing reflection of medieval Europe, a historical tour de force and, without doubt, her finest achievement.
'A beautiful, extraordinary book' Wall Street Journal
'Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition' Commentary
