I used this as a reference to do some research on the Hundred Years War, and actually ended up reading it all the way through. Instead of a dry history text I found a book whose basis is period writings. Almost all of it is letters, personal accounts of people involved, written in the dialect of the time, old English? I found it amusing just how many people spelled phonetically and wrote differently from one another. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
War's impact on two societies, England and France, in the late middle ages is fully explored through the evidence and commentary presented here, showing how they reacted to the conflict between them. The Hundred Years War forms the framework for the chosen documents, all from the fourteenth and fifteenth century; extracts show how men thought about war and how they faced up to these ideas in practice; the problems of manpower; and the effects of the military needs of the day on society. The importance of economic motives for going to war is considered, together with the changing methods used in fighting the war. Finally, the attempts at peace-making are illustrated, showing how war did not necessarily end suddenly since its effects --social, economic and political -- were felt for many years after it was officially over.New introduction, updated bibliography; originally published 1973.
