Most \"comprehensive\" works pass them by in favor of tales of monarchs and warriors. Yet if we truly wish to form an accurate understanding of how life was during a certain period, it is to the lives of ordinary people that we should first direct out attention. It is precisely this strategy that Eileen Power employs in \u003cem\u003eMedieval People\u003c\/em\u003e. In this refreshingly insightful collection of lives untouched by fame, Power guides the reader through the everyday activities of merchants, travelers, peasants, and monastics, painting a vivid picture of medieval life through their personal stories. Though of course meticulously researched-drawing upon journals, letters, court documents, wills, and first-hand accounts-Power's lives are \u003cem\u003efar\u003c\/em\u003e from the stuffily academic. She gives her characters room in a way that makes comfortable space for the reader to walk alongside them, sharing their daily activities, their wants and cares, trials and triumphs. Both highly enjoyable and informative, \u003cem\u003eMedieval People \u003c\/em\u003eis sure to appeal to students, teachers, and all those with a particular interest in medieval history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751009485088,"sku":"9781621387008","price":43.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/537d44a9387e2fe1fb27a6734cf24571.webp?v=1779962414","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/medieval-people-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
