From an historian who advised on the BBC’s Wolf Hall; an erudite romp through the intimate details of life in Tudor England.On the heels of her triumphant How to Be a Victorian; Ruth Goodman travels even further back in English history to the era closest to her heart; the dramatic period from the crowning of Henry VII to the death of Elizabeth I. Drawing on her own adventures living in re-created Tudor conditions; Goodman serves as our intrepid guide to sixteenth-century living. Proceeding from daybreak to bedtime; this charming; illustrative work celebrates the ordinary lives of those who labored through the era. From sounding the “hue and cry†to alert a village to danger to malting grain for homemade ale; from the gruesome sport of bear-baiting to cuckolding and cross-dressing―the madcap habits and revealing intimacies of life in the time of Shakespeare are vividly rendered for the insatiably curious. 8 pages of color illustrations

Good research with information and background not in other Garfield books. When you look at Garfield's life you have to conclude he was quite a guy. Author did not not that while serving in House of Representatives Garfield invented the first proof of the Pythagorean theorem in nearly 2;000 years.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
