“To Calais, In Ordinary Time” is a book about the power of perspective and the importance of broadening horizons
she gave to the Royal Society of Literature in 2010, Hilary Mantel offered some advice to would-be authors of historical fiction. “Learn to tolerate strange world views,” she said:Don’t pervert the values of the past. Women in former eras were downtrodden and frequently assented to it. Generally speaking, our ancestors were not tolerant, liberal or democratic…Can you live with that?
“To Calais…” is the story of three very different protagonists, each setting out for English-held Calais in the summer of 1348. Will Quate, a farm boy from Outen Green , joins up with a group of archers heading to fight in the Hundred Years War. Lady Bernadine Corbet, an aristocratic young woman, is bewitched by “Le Roman de La Rose”, a courtly poem, and fleeing a controlling father.
How radically the space I traverse differs from the mental chart of those, like Will Quate, whose universe might be circumnavigated in an hour. My Europe is his Outen Green; my continent his manor.
