Scenes and Characters of the Middle Ages
Third Edition
Scenes and Characters of the Middle Ages, by the Reverend Edward L. Cutts, an antiquarian of the Essex Archaeological Society, is a series of sketches of medieval life seen largely through its art. This third edition, published in 1911 with nearly two hundred illustrations from manuscripts, brasses and carvings, is arranged by types of people. Cutts describes the daily routine of monks and nuns, the hermits and recluses, the pilgrims and their shrines, the parish clergy, the minstrels and their guilds, the knights with their arms, armor and tournaments, and finally the merchants and the growth of English trade. The tone is informative and anecdotal rather than systematic. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
