Extract

Charles Reade's masterpiece, The Cloister and the Hearth, gives an admirable picture of life in the Fifteenth Century. The reader wanders along deserted roads and through deep forests; he sees the inside of cottages, monasteries, inns, caves, and palaces; he makes the acquaintance of peasants and nobles, churchmen and artists, hermits and robbers. The life so opulently pictured is not limited to one country, but flows through Holland, Germany, Burgundy, and Italy.
