This book is about what it was like to live in the England of Elizabeth. It is not a description of history or politics, although both are covered in some detail, but about the experience of being an Elizabethan. The three chapters on religion are among the most lucid descriptions of that difficult topic that I have read. There are chapters on marriage, family values, earning a living, and entertainment. As much as possible, the author lets the Elizabethans speak for themselves, quoting liberally from period authors, some of whom are not the ones that everybody quotes. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This is the first of a new series of books that will tell the history of early modern England from the perspective of those living at the time. Norman Jones' fascinating account details both the individual preoccupations (such as illness and famine) and the larger historical changes (such as fears over the succession and the establishment of Protestantism) which dominated life during the 1560s.
