"A History of Domestic Manners and Sentiments in England During the Middle Ages" by Thomas Wright is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book seeks to provide a comprehensive look at the everyday life, customs, and thoughts of the English people during the Middle Ages, emphasizing their domestic arrangements and practices. The author aims to fill a gap in literature by creating a vivid picture of historical domestic life, juxtaposing it with modern society to illustrate how past customs have shaped contemporary manners and sentiments. At the start of the book, Wright introduces his purpose and methodology, stating that his work focuses on domestic manners and sentiments rather than the traditional histories of rulers and events. He briefly discusses the existing literature on related subjects, emphasizing the need for a cohesive view of domestic life during various historical periods. Wright outlines the structure of his work, which will explore the Anglo-Saxon period through to the Reformation, highlighting the significant transitions in social customs and practices, ultimately aiming to create an engaging narrative that draws from original research rather than previous compilations. The opening chapters promise to examine aspects such as housing, dining customs, and the furnishings of Anglo-Saxon households, setting the stage for a detailed investigation of medieval domestic life.
