How did ordinary Englishmen live and work, what did they eat, what were they treated with, what did they ride, what did they wear and how did ordinary English people have fun many years ago? An authoritative British historian embarks on a journey through a dramatic era, represented by the period from the coronation of Henry VII to the death of Elizabeth I. Drawing on both solid documentary sources and his own experience of reconstructing historical conditions, the author introduces numerous aspects of daily life in the XNUMXth century, from hygienic procedures to nutritional habits, from activities associated with heavy physical labor, to the problems of education and upbringing, and many others. With a number of black-and-white and color illustrations, the book is a vivid collection of amazing customs, habits and details of the private life of the English during the Tudor period. “Of course, I am also interested in other historical periods, but really my heart belongs to the middle of the reign of Elizabeth I. On the one hand, I admire the “otherness” of Tudor thinking, on the other hand, I am occupied with its echoes that have penetrated into modern life ... This is a difficult time , marked by several significant turns in British history. My book was the result of a desire to understand the life, thoughts and concerns of contemporaries of this era.
