Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Feeling a bit "elf-shot" these days? Perusing this recent addition to the Writer's Digest's Writer's Guide history series will take your mind off such troubles. It has information on everything from Shakespearean-era postal systems to waterways to holidays to diets; it also defines contemporaneous lingo like the aforementioned supernatural malady. It's the next best thing to a time machine.

Product Description
Fifteenth- and sixteenth-century English life is examined, detailing government, family life, modes of travel, housing, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource, January 8, 2000

By	Maggie Boleyn (tudortimes.com) - See all my reviews

If your interest in the Renaissance centers on 16th century England, then this book's for you. With chapters arranged by broad subjects, such as Everyday Life, Government and War, and Society, it's easy to locate topics. If you are looking for a quick reference tool specific to the English Renaissance, this book belongs in your collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series!, March 16, 2001

By	R. Riis "rriis" (NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Not just for writers, but historians, hobbyists, and anyone interested in the small details of life in other times. This volume, like the others in the series, includes chapters (with figures and illustrations) on food, clothing, family life, work, education, religion, leisure activities, social and political history, etc. Great for browsing, great for research. Recommended.
