The Everyday Life of the Middle Ages

When discussing everyday life, we refer to a world of artificial phenomena, an artificial environment created by humans. Interest in the realities of long-gone eras with their everyday life and customs, the search for lost roots, the practice of reconstructions… Studies of everyday life and narratives about it imply an approach to the human world and life itself as a value — it is no coincidence that when researchers of culture speak of a return to everyday life, they refer to this theme as a return home. The book The Everyday Life of the Middle Ages is intended for all those interested in the history of everyday culture. Its goal is to show the formation of Western European civilization, the path paved on the level of the everyday. Inside, carefully collected facts are presented, supported by the scientific authority of notable domestic and foreign specialists. Maria Kozyakova is a Doctor of Philosophy and a cultural scholar. In her book, she will unveil the mystery of the everyday life of people who lived in the Middle Ages.
