Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

This collection of primary sources looks at two centuries of everyday, political, religious, working, trading and administrative life in England during this pivotal epoch.

Documents cover an array of topics relating to England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with a significant focus on the lives of "everyday" people. Volumes of correspondence from more prominent families look at governance, politics, monarchy, relations between landowners and tenants, war, politics and relations with England's neighbours.

The materials offer in-depth case studies of different regions in England from the South East to the Scottish Borders allowing for comparison of experience across the country.
