4.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating and entertaining,
By Lennart Edzer Nooij (The Hague, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Montaillou: Cathars and Catholics in a French Village 1294-1324 (Paperback)
Life in the Middle Ages. A fascinating account of ordinary life. While reading, one discovers just how many assumptions one has regarding life in the Middle Ages. Sometimes, it might get a bit dry, but on the whole both enriching and entertaining.
For those not familiair with the Annales-school in history, it will be an eye-opener.

A medieval micro history.,

This review is from: Montaillou: Cathars and Catholics in a French Village 1294-1324 (Paperback)
This book tells the story of the 14th century villagers and peasants of Montaillou. It chronicles their everyday lives, its importance is far greater than the story of the Cathar heresy, it is the story of the kind of people that are usually forgotten to history.

A classic,
By ECD (Great Britain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Montaillou: Cathars and Catholics in a French Village 1294-1324 (Paperback)
This book has been around for quite a long time now - it's a serious work, no pot-boiler - and has become a modern classic of its type, which can be classified, for the layman, as 'local history'. Essential reading for anyone seriously interested in the Cathars.
