Too Much, Too Young: Children of the Middle Ages
Dr Stephen Baxter takes a fresh look at the Middle Ages through the eyes of children, and discovers how they played a vital role in creating the medieval world.
Medievalist Dr Stephen Baxter takes a fresh look at the Middle Ages through the eyes of children. At a time when half the population was under eighteen he argues that, although they had to grow up quickly and take on adult responsibility early, the experience of childhood could also be richly rewarding. Focusing on the three pillars of medieval society - religion, war and work - Baxter reveals how children played a vital role in creating the medieval world.
