This documentary history of the Middle Ages is told through nearly 100 first-hand accounts: letters, essays, poems, and ballads, each highlighting the interplay among the three major elements in medieval European society-the nobility, the church, and the middle-class. Cantor also lends a voice to women, children, Jews, peasants, and others rarely heard from in history books of this period. Among the works featured: The Song of Roland, St. Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Divine Comedy and The Peasants Revolt of 1381.
