Positively Medieval: Life and Society in the Middle Ages - Paperback
by C. Dale Brittain (Author)
What was life like in the Middle Ages? Is it true that everyone was middle-aged? (short answer, No).
In this social history of the Middle Ages, written in a witty and engaging way by an eminent scholar and illustrated with photographs, you will learn about everything from medieval farm animals, to what people ate, to marriage and divorce, to how churches and castles were built, to the origin of Santa Claus, to the life of a teenager back then. Find out what aspects of the Middle Ages still affect us today. And there won't be a quiz on Monday
C. Dale Brittain is both a professor of medieval history and a fantasy writer, having been writing stories since she was five years old. Reading Tolkien at an impressionable age solidified her love of fantasy, and a trip to Europe with her family in high school, a trip that included a lot of climbing around castles, shaped her into a medievalist.
