The book examines diverse topics such as the legend of the Green Children of Woolpit, the intellectual and controversial life of Heloise, and the intricate details of the Bayeux Tapestry. Through these case studies, Dutton aims to uncover the complexities of medieval life by delving into seemingly minor events and figures. The work seeks to challenge traditional historical narratives by emphasizing the significance of small-scale events and the role of women, using feminist and gender analyses. It is intended for an academic audience, particularly those interested in medieval studies, history, and gender studies.Generated by AI.The New Middle Ages SeriesMicrohistoryGenerated by AIMiddle AgesGenerated by AIMicrohistoryMiddle Ages940.1Dutton Paul Edward1435945MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910755078403321Micro Middle Ages3593989UNINA
