Description
'Hawkwood' not only tells the story of the fourteenth century's brashest and most cosmopolitan Essex Man, but also offers a vivid portrait of the tumultuous age in which he lived . . . Few biographies handle the balance between a subject's 'life' and his 'times' more dextrously than this one. And as an entrée to the fascinating complexity of late-medieval life - its discordant juxtapositions of charity and barbarity, piety and sensuality, heroic altruism and cynical self-interest - it has few rivals.
