ILLUSTRATED ENGLISH SOCIAL HISTORY Chaucer's England & The Early Tudors The Master of Trinity's English Social History has proved itself, by its unusual combination of scholarship, literary quality and themes of great human interest, to be a work of universal and enduring value. The first volume retains the introduction which was an important feature of the original edition, and it covers the period from Chaucer's England to the Early Tudors. The illustrations have been selected with scholarly care both for their relation to the text and for their intrinsic interest. Many of them are reproductions of originals in the British Museum and the National Gallery and they form together a collection as fascinating as it is varied. Playbills, book illustrations, portraits of famous people and the houses they lived in, caricatures and advertisements illustrate the life of the people at every level and make an appropriate addition to an already famous text.
