"Life in a Medieval Village" is a classic bestseller from renowned medievalists Joseph and Frances Guice, authors of a series of popular science books that have introduced countless readers to the everyday world of man in the Middle Ages. The narrative centers on the life and customs of the people who inhabited the village of Elton in the East Midlands (England) in the distant 1300s. The authors describe in detail the way of life and relationships of medieval villagers, their daily work and entertainment. Gathering historical evidence bit by bit, Joseph and Francis Guice give us a rare opportunity to get to know the European village as it was seven centuries ago. On the pages of the book it comes to life in vivid cinematic images. Using the example of Elton, the authors of the book clearly and convincingly demonstrate the birth, development and decline of the European village, which became an important "invention" of the Middle Ages, as well as debunk many myths about the Dark Ages, making them sound like the voices of people from a bygone time, and in the ancient speech one can hear clear and familiar intonations.
