A Separate World

Part of a series of five books covering core history study units for Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum, this book focuses on Britain's medieval past and aims to help pupils understand what it meant to live during this period. It underlines the importance in everyday life of the social structure, work and the Church, to both the powerful elite and the townspeople and peasantry. Both change and continuity are emphasized - change through the impact of war, epidemics and social upheaval on an apparently static society and continuity for the great majority of the population in work, struggling to survive. The author has also written "A World of Change" and "A Place in Time".
