About This Item
Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Company, 1999. Reprint Edition. Fifth Printing. good. 230, illus., bibliography, source notes, index, published with half dustjacket wrapped around book. Frontispiece photograph of the January page from the Julius Work Calendar. In the year 1000 the world was one of people who feared an apocalypse and who had no idea what year it was or what lay beyond the nearest valley. Narrated through the progression of the seasons, this book presents a recreation of English life at the end of the first millennium AD. The year 1000 is a vivid and surprising portrait of life in England a thousand yearsago. No spinach, no sugar, but a world which already knew brain surgeons and property developers, and even the occasional gossip columnist.
