Book Synopsis

An introduction to the understanding of everyday life in the early Middle Ages. The social history of this period has been studied intensively for years, but few brief, concrete, and comprehensive accounts of daily life in medieval Europe have appeared. To fill this gap Professor Painter has written an essay that could be read by the college history student with benefit. It outlines the most important technical developments, and infuses the life of this period with understanding and sympathy.
