First published in 1918, and re-issued with forty pages of
illustrations in 1919, Social Life in Britain marked a turning
point in Coulton's writings. Although a rigorous academic who
stressed the importance of using primary sources, Coulton was
skilled at making medieval history accessible to a wider audience,
by dealing with ordinary lives. He played an important role in
encouraging interest in the study of social and economic, rather
than political and military, history of the Middle Ages among
younger scholars. In the present work, he used his extraordinarily
wide reading of historical and literary sources to cover all
aspects of ordinary life in medieval Britain. These include birth
and childhood, education, town life, food and drink, the Church and
medical methods. He also deals with aspects of women's lives,
travelling, and bizarre superstitions which were widely held. A
fascinating book to dip into, with a wealth of material.
