Excellent historical research and data, exactly what I was looking for - but it was like reading homework. No real attempt at storytelling in the text, and lots of similar names and complex figures. Highly recommended if you're looking for pure information, but not so much if you're looking for history that's fun to read. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This richly detailed account provides an important addition to current work on women in late medieval England, taking as its starting point the household diary of Alice de Bryene, a Suffolk noblewoman of the late 14th and early 15th century. Like Christine de Pizan, de Bryene enjoyed greater status and influence as a widow and owner of several large estates than most married women of her time, allowing her a remarkable degree of social and financial independence. Moving outward from de Bryene's own life, this illuminating work provides a vivid picture of the medieval household , examining marriage, education, patronage, and the private and public roles of the medieval woman of privilege.
