The Illiterate Middle Ages

Break your usual notions about the "Dark Ages" together with historian Екатерина Мишаненкова’s book.
You will learn what the real Middle Ages were like in everyday life and education: from orphan shelters and apprenticeship with craftsmen to the rise of universities and widely read books.
This is an exciting immersion into the authentic world of medieval education that can completely change your view of the past.

On the pages of the book by historian and reenactor Екатерина Мишаненкова, you will find a разоблачение of myths and persistent clichés about education and literacy in the Middle Ages.
Where and how did orphans live, at what age were children taken on as apprentices to a master, how were city and village teenagers raised, what do the trivium and the seven liberal arts mean, how did universities emerge, what did people prefer to read in their free time?

You will find the answers to these and many other questions in the new book you are holding in your hands!
