Marc Morris is an historian and broadcaster. He studied and taught history at the universities of London and Oxford, and his doctorate on the thirteenth-century earls of Norfolk was published in 2005. In 2003 he presented the highly-acclaimed television series Castle, and wrote its accompanying book. Following the success of his biography of King Edward I (A Great and Terrible King, 2008), he is now writing a new history of the Norman Conquest.
Beginning with their introduction in the eleventh century, and ending with their widespread abandonment in the seventeenth, Marc Morris explores many of the country's most famous castles, as well as some spectacular lesser-known examples. At times this is an epic tale, driven by characters like William the Conqueror, King John and Edward I, full of sieges and conquest on an awesome scale. But it is also by turns an intimate story of less eminent individuals, whose adventures, struggles and ambitions were reflected in the fortified residences they constructed. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle was first and foremost a home. To understand castles - who built them, who lived in them, and why - is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.

評分历史是凭借什么来说话的呢?一般情况下,历史依赖于人们的记载、各种遗存或后世的考古资料来还原历史的本来面貌。这个并非能够做到百分之百——因为主观的历史和客观的历史之间毕竟是有着远与近不等的关系的。今天呈现出来的历史的面貌,只是如今的人们所能感受、认知到的一切...
評分说道城堡,人们海里最先出现的应该莫过于童话故事里的情节了,王子与公主的故事,公主与贫民的故事,美轮美奂的城堡似乎在全世界的儿童心中早早扎下了根,一座座美丽的城堡藏着一个个美丽的童话故事,寄托着一个个美好的心愿。这一本由中世纪史学家马克·莫里斯撰写的《城堡的...
