The dramatic and shocking events of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381
are to be the backdrop to Juliet Barker's latest book: a snapshot
of what everyday life was like for ordinary people living in the
middle ages. The same highly successful techniques she deployed
inAgincourt and Conquest will this time be brought to bear on
civilian society, from the humblest serf forced to provide
slave-labour for his master in the fields, to the prosperous
country goodwife brewing, cooking and spinning her distaff and the
ambitious burgess expanding his business and his mental horizons in
the town. The book will explore how and why such a diverse and
unlikely group of ordinary men and women from every corner of
England united in armed rebellion against church and state to
demand a radical political agenda which, had it been implemented,
would have fundamentally transformed English society and
anticipated the French Revolution by four hundred years. The book
will not only provide an important reassessment of the revolt
itself but will also be an illuminating and original study of
English medieval life at the time.
