Description
The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight--in all his valor and 'furious follies,' a 'terrible worm in an iron cocoon.' Praise for A Distant Mirror 'Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better.'--The New York Review of Books
'A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer.'--The Wall Street Journal
'Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition.'--Commentary
