The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium : An Englishman's World (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series)

The England of 1000 years ago -- a world that already knew brain surgeons and property developers and even the occasional gossip columnist -- is brought closer than it has ever been before by authors Robert Lacey and Danny Danziger. In the spirit of modern investigative journalism, they interviewed top historians and archaeologists. Research led them to a little-known document of the period, the Julius Work Calendar, a sharply-observed guide that takes us back in time to a charming and very human world of kings and revelers, saints and slave laborers, lingering paganism and profound Christian faith.Danny Danzinger is the author of 'The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium : An Englishman's World (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series)' with ISBN 9780783887906 and ISBN 0783887906.
