The reissue of Joseph and Frances Gies's classic bestseller on life
in medieval villages. This new reissue of Life in a Medieval
Village, by respected historians Joseph and Frances Gies, paints a
lively, convincing portrait of rural people at work and at play in
the Middle Ages. Focusing on the village of Elton, in the English
East Midlands, the Gieses detail the agricultural advances that
made communal living possible, explain what domestic life was like
for serf and lord alike, and describe the central role of the
church in maintaining social harmony. Though the main focus is on
Elton, c. 1300, the Gieses supply enlightening historical context
on the origin, development, and decline of the European village,
itself an invention of the Middle Ages. Meticulously researched,
Life in a Medieval Village is a remarkable account that illustrates
the captivating world of the Middle Ages and demonstrates what it
was like to live during a fascinating-and often misunderstood-era.
