À propos de cet audio
This episode is about literacy, oral culture, letter writing and the daily life of women in the fifteenth century. We talk to Diane Watt about Margaret Paston, a medieval woman writer who was a prolific letter writer during the War of the Roses, the series of civil wars in the fifteenth century between the houses of Lancaster and York for control of the English throne. The Paston Letters, currently held in the British Library, were written by four generations of this well-off Norfolk family, and span almost the whole fifteenth century.
This is Orlando, a podcast about the history of women's writing from medieval times to the present.
