Medieval England
Moira Hook, Arthur MacGregor
Führer durch die archäologische Sammlung des Ashmolean Museum von
Alfred the Great bis Richard III.
In 'Medieval England' the archaeological collections of the
Ashmolean Museum serve to illustrate a comprehensive series of
historical themes from the reign of Alfred the Great to the end of
the Wars of the Roses. A sequence of topics has been chosen which
characterise these crucial six centuries of English history;
social, economic and political developments are reviewed; the
evolution of trade, industry and agriculture is traced; the
progress of warfare, religion, literacy, dress, sports and pastimes
are all examined. The text is supplemented by eighty-five
illustrations (including twelve pages of colour) of exhibits from
the Ashmolean's superb medieval collections, giving tangible form
to the concepts examined. The whole forms a well-integrated
presentation of archaeological and historical evidence.
