Bøger af H. S. Bennett

Originally published in 1955, this volume incorporates the substance of the Gregynog Lectures delivered at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth during the Session 1952-3. The text was created to give an account of the lives of a few men and women of the fifteenth century, enabling the reader to understand something of what existence was like at that time. Chapters are included on the following figures: Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester; Sir John Fastolf; Thomas Hoccleve; Margaret Paston; Margery Kempe; Richard Bradwater. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British history and the fifteenth century.

This account of the Pastons' England reveals an age of historical transition as it was played out in the daily challenges of individual lives.

Part of the complete reissue of "The Oxford History of English Literature", this volume reassesses the work of England's greatest medieval author and attempts to survey the 15th century in the light of modern scholarship.
