Crypt: Life, Death and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond is a remarkable exploration presented by acclaimed author Professor Alice Roberts, who has masterfully combined scientific inquiry with enthralling storytelling. This Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller and Waterstones' pick for one of the finest history tomes of 2024 invites readers on an engaging journey through the complexities of medieval life.
In this captivating narrative, Roberts employs cutting-edge archaeological techniques to reveal the untold stories of everyday individuals, offering a more inclusive view of an era often overshadowed by grand historical events. With seven meticulously crafted chapters, 'Crypt' unveils a rich tapestry of experiences, highlighting:
- The emergence of the earliest English hospitals
- The tragic events of the St Brice's Day Massacre
- The challenges posed by disease and disability
- The dynamic interactions between the Church and State
- Fascinating accounts of the archers lost aboard the Mary Rose
This is not just a historical account; it's an illuminating science-driven adventure that redefines our understanding of the past. As noted by the Evening Standard, this book provides "an addictive picture of medieval Britain from a cutting-edge perspective," making it essential reading for history enthusiasts.
Through meticulous research and eloquent prose, Professor Roberts crafts a narrative that is as informative as it is enthralling, ensuring a fresh and intimate glimpse into the intricate relationships surrounding life, death, and disease in the Middle Ages and beyond.
