The Paston Letters: A Selection Illustrating English Social Life in the Fifteenth Century

Originally published in 1909 as part of the English Literature for Schools collection, this book contains selections from the Paston letters, a group of letters written by the Paston family between 1440 and 1485. The letters reveal important details about daily life in fifteenth-century England, and a family tree and critical notes are both supplied by the editor. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in English history or the history of education.
