Description
Subtitled: Voices from a Medieval Village, this brilliant little book by Laura Amy Schlitz contains a series of nineteen monologues and two dialogues telling the stories of people living in a medieval manor in England in the year 1255 A.D. People from every rank and station are represented in this book of mini-plays. There's Hugo, the lord's nephew who must kill a boar to earn his manhood and avoid a beating; Otho, the miller's son, who's quite a philosopher for his young age; Mariot and Maud, the glassblower's daughters, one of whom faces the dreaded plight of marrying their father's apprentice; and a dozen other colorful characters. The sketches are written in period voice, but with simple language, so that they are easy to understand. There are marginal notes with explanation of the few antiquated words or ideas that appear in the text. Where the author thought it necessary, there are short essays on certain aspects of medieval life (such as medieval pilgrimage, the crusades, falconry and farming) included in the book. This is an enjoyable read as a storybook, and I am certain it would be an equally enjoyable drama project for anyone studying the Middle Ages. ~ Rachel P.
Publisher's Description of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!
Maidens, monks, and millers’ sons — in these pages, readers will meet them all. There’s Hugo, the lord’s nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant’s daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There’s also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd — inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany — this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.
