About this product

Product Information

Students, teachers, and interested readers will find in this resource a vivid and intimate account of life in the Elizabethan age. The first book on Elizabethan England to rise out of the living history movement, it combines a unique 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 recreates 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 94 drawings, patterns, and diagrams, it provides a treasure trove of information for classroom and library use and for those interested in recreating Elizabethan life. The work is organized into sections on the structure of Elizabethan society, the course of life (birth, childhood, education, marriage, old age, and death), the cycles of time (daily, weekly, and yearly schedules, including a calendar of the Elizabethan year), the living environment (houses, villages, towns, and travel), clothing (including instruction for making complete Elizabethan male and female outfits), food (featuring a selection of recipes), and entertainment (songs with sheet music and instruction for authentic games and dances). A chronology of Tudor England, a glossary, appendices with information and ideas on organizing Elizabethan feasts and fairs, and lists of suggested readings, videos, and recordings complete the work. This is an indispensable resource for classrooms and school and public libraries because it gives readers a true understanding of what it would be like to live in 16th-century England.

The Moderne Aviso, "Highly appealing with its up close and personal look at daily life in sixteenth century England, this outstanding work covers the culture and customs of country and city folk in an enjoyable, readable fashion...this work of high quality, scholarly research will be an invaluable resource both in the classroom and in the library. The clear, focused, readily-accessible format is a delight to read and will find a broad audience...Highly recommended." VOYA, "... an incredible amount of detail about daily life..., such as popular songs and patterns for clothing...Black-and-white diagrams and pictures are clear and informative...Singman's books will be welcome additions for anyone looking for in-depth material on English life of the past." School Library Journal, "Based as it is on both standard secondary sources...and the primary sources from which its dress patterns and recipes come, the book is a valuable introduction to the everyday life of the period. Furthermore, its participation in the living history movement, like that movement itself, allows for a more imaginative entrance into the Elizabethan world than one might experience through the reading of a standard, more conventional social history...a valuable addition to scholarship. tells an old story" Shakespeare Bulletin, "...Daily Life, the latest addition to the Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History series, accurately shows how the vast majority of people lived, ate, dwelled, what they did for a living, what they believed in, and how they spent their leisure time. This fine work does not neglect the upper classes; rather it relegates them to their appropriate place in a overall view of Elizabethan society."- Renaissance Magazine, "... an incredible amount of detail about daily life..., such as popular songs and patterns for clothing...Black-and-white diagrams and pictures are clear and informative...Singman's books will be welcome additions for anyone looking for in-depth material on English life of the past."- School Library Journal, "Highly appealing with its up close and personal look at daily life in sixteenth century England, this outstanding work covers the culture and customs of country and city folk in an enjoyable, readable fashion...this work of high quality, scholarly research will be an invaluable resource both in the classroom and in the library.

Readers can 'live' within the age as they encounter recipes, clothing patterns, songs and games. Students will enjoy browsing through the pages and learning how much money a knight would have made, how some of the homes were constructed, and what type of shoe a lady might have worn. A typical day is explained in detail, as is each month of the year. Consideration is given to all social classes, not just the aristocracy. This could serve as the core of an excellent cross-curricular unit for staff and students to produce together...Highly recommended."- The Book Report, "Looking for a way to spice up your Shakespeare?

Utah Council of Teachers of English/Language Arts, "...provides a useful overview of day-to-day life in a particular period of the past in a similar sequence of chapters. Following a brief history of the era, an overview chapter discusses the social structure, governmental organization, religious establishment, and economy of the period. Subsequent chapters outline the cycle of life, from birth to death, and the cycles of time, moving through the day, week, and year as experienced by the people of that era. A final series of chapters discuss food, clothing, and entertainment. The strength of these books is their detailed portrayal of the life of earlier times and the opportunities provided to recreate parts of that life. The text is rich in many details.
