Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Among the surviving records of fourteenth-century England, Geoffrey Chaucers poetry is the most vivid. Chaucer wrote about everyday people outside the walls of the English courtmen and women who spent days at the pedal of a loom, or maintaining the ledgers of an estate, or on the high seas. In Chaucers People, Liza Picard transforms The Canterbury Tales into a masterful guide for a gloriously detailed tour of medieval England, from the mills and farms of a manor house to the lending houses and Inns of Court in London. In Chaucers People we meet again the motley crew of pilgrims on the road to Canterbury. Drawing on a range of historical records such as the Magna Carta, The Book of Margery Kempe and Cookery in English, Picard puts Chaucers characters into historical context and mines them for insights into what people ate, wore, read and thought in the Middle Ages. What can the Miller, bigof brawn and eke of bones tell us about farming in fourteenth-century England? What do we learn of medieval diets and cooking methods from the Cook? With boundless curiosity and wit, Picard re-creates the religious, political and financial institutions and customs that gave order to these lives. The Middle Ages re-created through the cast of pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
