Reader Reviews
This proves to be an excellent book on the 1381 Peasant Revolt that took place during the early years of Richard II's reign. The book will probably be compared with Charles Oman's book on the same subject but Alstair Dunn's book have been updated and improved upon from Oman's book. The book shows that the main revolt that started out in Kent was just a beginning of series of revolts that took place throughout eastern part of England during that year. There were various reasons for this revolt, mostly the costly and unsuccessful war with France. The author's subtitled,"Failed Revolution" proves to be an interesting but accurate description as the leaders of these revolts truly wanted to changed the economic and social structures of their kingdom. The book proves to be well written, easy to read and superbly researched by the author. Its a short book, less then 200 pages of text. But it does the subject justice in explaining the how, when, who and why of the events of June 1381. The only real weakness lies in lack of illustrations which this book needed. I thought the book also needed a more detail set of maps as well. But overall, the book come highly recommended to anyone who may be interested in medieval English history.
