Daily life in Elizabethan England

by Jeffrey L. Forgeng

"What was life really like for ordinary people in other cultures throughout history? Students, teachers, and interested readers will find, in the curriculum-based Greenwood Press "Daily Life Through History" Series, a wealth of details about daily life, based on current scholarship, that is not available elsewhere." "Daily Life in Elizabethan England provides a vivid and intimate account of life in the Elizabethan age. The first book on Elizabethan England to arise out of the "living history" movement, it combines a hands-on approach with the best of current research. Organized for easy reference, it is enlivened with how-to sections - recipes, clothing patterns, songs and games, all gathered from original sources. This hands-on approach re-creates the daily life of ordinary people, not just the aristocracy, and systematically covers the most basic facts of life in a readily accessible format. Clearly illustrated with almost 100 drawings, patterns, and diagrams, it provides a treasure trove of information for classroom and library use and for those interested in re-creating Elizabethan life."--BOOK JACKET.
