Chaucer's London: Everyday Life in London 1342-1400
Description:
What is was like to live in London in the time of Geoffrey Chaucer. Fourteenth-century London was noisy, dirty, and disorderly, but also prosperous, proud of itself, and full of life. It was described at the time as a 'mirror to all of England', and indeed it was. In this book, A. R. Myers discusses London life in all its aspects including working in the city, housing, entertainment, marriage and sex, religion and popular beliefs. The book includes a great deal of very familiar streets, buildings and districts but what was going in them appears very distant, 700 years later.
