"The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 3 (of 6)" edited by James Gairdner is a collection of correspondence published in 1904. This volume spans the tumultuous reigns of Edward IV and Henry VII, documenting the intimate communications of Norfolk's Paston family during England's Wars of the Roses and early Tudor period. These authentic letters, once lost and dramatically rediscovered, offer unfiltered glimpses into medieval English life, politics, and family affairs while capturing
the English language during its remarkable transformation from Middle to Early Modern English. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
