Friar’s Lantern is a novel published in 1906 and written by George Gordon Coulton. The story is set in the 14th century and follows the life of a young man named Richard who becomes a Franciscan friar. Richard’s journey takes him through various monasteries and cities in Europe, where he witnesses the turmoil of the times, including the Black Death and the Hundred Years’ War. Along the way, he meets a diverse cast of characters, including other friars, nobles, and commoners, and grapples with questions of faith, morality, and the meaning of life. The novel is a rich and detailed portrayal of medieval society, and Coulton’s extensive research into the period is evident in the depth and accuracy of his descriptions. Friar’s Lantern is a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that offers a window into the past and raises timeless questions about human nature and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
