The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6) by James Gairdner
"The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)" edited by James Gairdner is a collection of correspondence published in 1904. This volume captures letters exchanged among the Paston family and their associates during England's turbulent Wars of the Roses and early Tudor period. These authentic documents, once lost and questioned, provide intimate glimpses into fifteenth-century English gentry life, politics, and language evolution. Gairdner's scholarly edition presents previously unpublished letters with detailed
notes, offering historians and linguists an invaluable primary source from a transformative era in English history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
