Beskrivelse af God's Own Gentlewoman
The remarkable story of Margaret Paston, whose letters form the most extensive collection of personal writings by a medieval English woman.Drawing on what is the largest archive of medieval correspondence relating to a single family in the UK, God''s Own Gentlewoman explores what everyday life was like during the turbulent decades at the height of the Wars of the Roses. From political conflicts and familial in-fighting; forbidden love affairs and clandestine marriages; bloody battles and sieges; fear of plague and sudden death; friendships and animosity; childbirth and child mortality, Margaret''s letters provide us with unparalleled insight into all aspects of life in late medieval England.Diane Watt is a world expert on medieval women''s writing, and God''s Own Gentlewoman explores how Margaret''s personal archive provides an insight into her activities, experiences, emotions and relationships and the life of a medieval woman who was at times absorbed by the mundane and domestic, but who also found herself caught up in the most extraordinary situations and events.
