Description

Discover the real history of English castles in Behind the Castle Gate: From Medieval to Renaissance by Matthew Johnson. Published by Routledge, this book moves past traditional views of castles as mere defensive structures or simple displays of wealth. Instead, it offers a fresh perspective by looking at how these buildings functioned in the daily lives of those who lived within them. Matthew Johnson explores how castle settings influenced the social roles of inhabitants, including the relationships between lords and servants, husbands and wives, and fathers and sons. By focusing on the people behind the stone walls, the text provides a new way to understand the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in residential architecture and the social history of England during this transformative period.
