About this book
Six mostly ordinary lives stand for the Middle Ages in these sketches by Eileen Power, a historian of Girton College, Cambridge, and the University of London. Bodo, a peasant, shows the working of a manorial estate; Marco Polo, Venetian trade with the East; Madame Eglentyne, convent life; the Ménagier's wife, a middle-class household and medieval ideas about women; Thomas Betson, the wool trade; Thomas Paycocke, the cloth industry of East Anglia. The sketches draw on different kinds of record, from estate books to wills and brasses. First published in 1924, with a bibliography of sources at the end.
