Schlitz, L. A. (2007).  Good Masters, Sweet Ladies. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press. Good Masters, Sweet Ladies is written as plays with seventeen equal voices as the author, Laura Schiltz describes in her forward.  As her students were studying medieval times, she wanted the history and excitement of the time to come real to her students.  She wanted history to be viewed as dramatic not just dates and the history of old men. The setting is in 1255 in England.  The monologues with a few dialogues are set in verse.  She gives several pages of background throughout the book. The perspectives of the monologue range from Hugo - the lord's nephew, Will -the plowboy, Alice - the shepherdess, Thomas - the doctor's son, Constance- the pilgrim, Mogg- the villein's daughter and many more.  Each monologue shares an unique viewpoint and mindset.    Schlitz creates various side notes alongside the verse explaining the character or occupation.  She gives a further insight for the reader to understand each character.  She provides a biography in the back of the book as she authenticates her research and provides for supplementary study. Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! is the 2008 Newbery Award wubber, Those interested in medieval times should read Newbery Honor Award winner, The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman.
