The kingmakers daughter.
This book is set in the 1400's. The writing in the book is so formal and really unlike todays language that it is sometimes confusing. for example they say "god speed" when someone is going on a journey, i dont really know what this means but i guess its them asking god to give the person a safe and quick journey. You dont find people saying stuff like that nowadays.
They speak very formally unlike nowadays and they have set roles for women in these times so the writing can be quite sexist sometimes for example "again no one ansers my question as if i am not there." this is also very unmodern. This can make the reader quite annoyed occasionally especially if they are a woman.

  1. Does this text play with language and if so, how? Where is your blog analysis?
