Excerpt from The Piers Plowman Social and Economic Histories, Vol. 5 These books have been written in order to depict, for the young of whatever age, some of the conditions and changes which have marked the lives of ordinary folk in past times. They trace, very simply, through the centuries, the develop ment of England on its social side; they deal with the ways in which people lived, earned their daily bread, traded, wor shipped God, travelled, amused themselves, or endured the ups and downs of life. The national story in its main out lines has been well and often told; therefore the writers of this series have assumed that their readers have at hand one of the general political accounts. The present series is in any case intended merely as an introduction to a great subject, which, when studied more fully, touches at many points literature, art, music, handicraft, the dance, the drama, and other human activities. The lists of works for additional reading are therefore not to be neglected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
