Klappentext The Paston letters have long exercised a tremendous fascination for their capacity to recreate in vivid detail the lives of an ordinary well-to-do-fifteenth-century family. This classic study recreates beautifully their historical context and offers the additional perspectives provided by the letters of their correspondents.
