Drawn from the records and literature he knew so well, this antiquarian history classic maps medieval household customs across the middle ages England, showing how feeling, faith, work, and recreation shaped medieval English society. It reads as a cultural history reference for anyone curious about domestic life in England, and it rewards the browser as much as the dedicated reader.
