Bridget Ann Henisch, The Medieval Cook (Woodbridge, 2009).

AVAILABLE IN PRINT

Roberta Gilchrist, Medieval Life: Archaeology and the Life Course (Woodbridge, 2012).

An examination of daily life in the Middle Ages which reveals the intimate relations between age groups, between the living and the dead, and between people and things.

“An important and timely volume… an elegant summary of complex theory, and synthesis of an impressive body of material. It will be eagerly read by current and future generations of archaeologists, and will demonstrate the significance of historical archaeology to a much wider scholarly audience.” Dr Kate Giles, University of York.

Geoff Egan, The Medieval Household: Daily Living c.1150-c.1450 (Woodbridge, 2010).

“It is possible, using this catalogue of finds, to consider new insights into life in medieval Britain during this period and, as such, this volume is ideal for anyone with an academic interest in the period historically or archaeologically. […] It is a fascinating insight into a very small but significant period of British history and a volume which as part of a wider series nonetheless stands well on its own as an individual work of reference.” REFERENCE REVIEWS.

Norbert Ohler (trans. Caroline Hillier), The Medieval Traveller (Woodbridge, 2010).

“A rare book in that it’s easily accessible to an audience that’s interested in the Middle Ages but not necessarily well-acquainted with it. […] It’s as close to definitive as a work on the subject can be, however, given our current state of knowledge, and it’s head and shoulders above other accessible works on travelling in the Middle Ages.” BIBLIOBUFFET.
