Now is the Time Author: Melvyn Bragg

ISBN: 9781473614550 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 368 Published: 8 November 2016 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 13.1 x 2.3 Description: A thrilling fictional recreation of the biggest rebellion in English history - the so-called Peasants' Revolt.

In this gripping novel, Melvyn Bragg brings an extraordinary episode in English history to fresh, urgent life.

At the end of May 1381, the fourteen-year-old King of England had reason to be fearful: the plague had returned, the royal coffers were empty and a draconian poll tax was being widely evaded. Yet Richard, bolstered by his powerful, admired mother, felt secure in his God-given right to reign. But within two weeks, the unthinkable happened: a vast force of common people invaded London, led by a former soldier, Walter Tyler, and the radical preacher John Ball, demanding freedom, equality and the complete uprooting of the Church and state. And for three intense, violent days, it looked as if they would sweep all before them.

Now Is The Time depicts the events of the Peasants' Revolt on both a grand and intimate scale, vividly portraying its central figures and telling an archetypal tale of an epic struggle between the powerful and the apparently powerless.
