Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Page or Prentice This little story, though its incidents are placed in a period of strife, is not concerned with warfare. The Wars of the Roses - one of the most brutal struggles in our history - are remarkable for the fact that they caused little suffering or distress to the great body of the people. While the nobles and their retainers were engaged in savage fighting, ordinary citizens carried on their work as usual, not greatly caring whether the Red Rose or the White proved victorious, and for the most part quite untouched by the war. The following pages deal mainly with the home life of a simple tradesman and his family at a time when the darkness of the Middle Ages was yielding before the dawn of the New Learning, a movement in which the art of printing was to have so important a share.
