- Summary
- "This essay, Mediaeval Society by Mr. Sidney Painter, offers an introduction to an understanding of everyday life in the early Middle Ages. Social history of this period has been studied intensively for years, but, in spite of this or perhaps in part because of it, few brief, concrete, and comprehensive accounts of daily existence in mediaeval Europe have appeared. To fill this gap, Mr. Painter was asked to write an essay that could be read at a sitting, that would outline the most important technical developments, and that would infuse this information with understanding and sympathy. He has succeeded in producing a swift summary equally fitted to enlighten the ignorance of the beginner or to illuminate the knowledge of the more advanced student." -- Foreword.
