First published to wide critical acclaim in 1973, this is an excellent second edition that brings the study up to date. Maintaining the spirited character of the original, this is a seminal text for students of this diverse and complex period. Each chapter includes a discussion of the historiographical developments of the last decade, and focusing on the plague and the economy, Maurice Keen presents a fresh look at the changing world of the Later Middle Ages. Surveying the period from Edward I to the death of Richard III which heralded in the Tudor age, this enthralling and informative work will be of massive benefit to students of history and the Middle Ages.
