Everyday Life in Viking-Age Towns Social Approaches to Towns in England and Ireland, c. 800–1100 Edited by Letty ten Harkel and D.M. Hadley
Explores everyday life in Viking-Age towns from both sides of the Irish Sea. The study of early medieval towns has frequently concentrated on urban beginnings, the search for broadly applicable definitions of urban characteristics and the chronological development of towns. This book focuses instead on everyday life in and around these emerging settlements. What was it really like to grow up, live and die in these towns? What did people eat, what did they wear and how did they make a living for themselves?
