DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis account of the "peasant revolt" of 1381 demonstrates that the rebellion was not an uncontrolled, inarticulate explosion of peasant resentment, but an informed and tactical claim to literacy and rule. It focuses on six brief texts by the rebels themselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The Great Rising is a re-interpretation of the revolt, the rebels and their often colourful leaders, and is the first new history for nearly one hundred years. Alastair Dunn charts the causes of the Great Rising, and examines how the burgeoning economic expectations of the generation succeeding the Black Death were frustrated by the landlords' determined defense of serfdom, and the growing burden imposed upon the people by the crown, culminating in the hated Poll Taxes. He asks whether the Great Rising had a coherent set of aims linking its participants in different parts of England, follows the dramatic story of the rebels in London, and highlights the largely forgotten, but equally exciting story of rebellion in other parts of England."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Meet a knight and family, his servants, officials and tenants, associates and military company; follow them through a year in their lives; and then get a taste of campaign life and war as they might have experienced them - all in color photographs." "The pictures feature carefully researched and reconstructed clothing, tools, armor, furnishings, and other items, all based closely on surviving items or manuscript illustrations and paintings. Many of the backgrounds feature preserved or reconstructed buildings. Similarly, the text draws extensive details from historical accounts, records, chronicles, and literature, as well as modern historical and archaeological research. Together they build a portrait of a world long lost in time."--BOOK JACKET.
