The collection - which includes documents ranging from love letters to household accounts - provides us with a wealth of otherwise unobtainable detail about the lives and careers of a gentry family, their servants and their friends. Much of the material comes from the period of the Wars of the Roses, and allows us an insider's view on national events and the people involved in them. Originally edited by the historian C. L. Kingsford at the beginning of the century, the complete collection is reissued here, with a new introduction and annotation by Christine Carpenter. In many ways more representative of gentry life than the Paston letters, the Stonor letters and papers will be invaluable to scholars of late medieval England, and will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the Wars of the Roses or life in medieval England.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to 1996 edition\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to 1996 edition\u003cbr\u003e Kingsford's introduction\u003cbr\u003e Kingsford's appendix to his introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Stonor letters and papers Volume I\u003cbr\u003e The Stonor letters and papers Volume II\u003cbr\u003e Supplementary letters and papers\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Summary listing of material in PRO not mentioned by Kingsford.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early history: c 500 to c 1450\/1500\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20history:%20c%20500%20to%20c%201450\/1500%20%5BHBLC%5D%22\"\u003eHBLC\u003c\/a\u003e], British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45909145321752,"sku":"9780521555869","price":40.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521555869i_79e81e54-64db-4a0e-99a7-889dcc99cd8f.jpg?v=1691369594","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/kingsfords-stonor-letters-and-papers-1290-1483-paperback-9780521555869","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
