Download or read book Daily Life in Elizabethan England written by Jeffrey L. Forgeng and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-11-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an experiential perspective on the lives of Elizabethans—how they worked, ate, and played—with hands-on examples that include authentic music, recipes, and games of the period. Daily Life in Elizabethan England: Second Edition offers a fresh look at Elizabethan life from the perspective of the people who actually lived it. With an abundance of updates based on the most current research, this second edition provides an engaging—and sometimes surprising—picture of what it was like to live during this distant time. Readers will learn, for example, that Elizabethans were diligent recyclers, composting kitchen waste and collecting old rags for papermaking. They will discover that Elizabethans averaged less than 2 inches shorter than their modern British counterparts, and, in a surprising echo of our own age, that many Elizabethan city dwellers relied on carryout meals—albeit because they lacked kitchen facilities. What further sets the book apart is its "hands-on" approach to the past with the inclusion of actual music, games, recipes, and clothing patterns based on primary sources.

Download or read book Daily Life in Stuart England written by Jeffrey L. Forgeng and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England witnessed an overall rising standard of living in the seventeenth century. Still very much an agrarian society, approximately 80% of the population lived in rural settlements, and even citydwellers were in walking distance of farmland. However, as the the century came to an end a growing proportion of the population was living in urban areas. London in particular grew from some 200,000 people in 1600 to 575,000 by 1700 and went from being the 3rd largest city in Europe to the largest. Homes were larger than previously and the wealth of a family could be determined by how many fireplaces were in the home. Clothing was another important facet of Stuart culture and not only protected the wearer against the elements but was a statement of their position in society. Clothing and homes weren't the only marker of social status, even sports and games were often divided along class lines - many in the lower classes played football while the upper-classes were consumed with billiards. Forgeng brings life in Stuart England alive for students and general readers alike. Chapters devoted to the course of life and cycles of time; the living environment; clothing and accoutrements; food and drink; and entertainments detail the day-to-day lives of those living in Stuart England; while the role of women; religion; science and technology; the military; and trade and economy are also explored. Greenwood's Daily Life through History series looks at the everyday lives of common people. This book will illuminate the lives of those living in Stuart England and provide a basis for further research. Black and white photographs, maps and charts are interspersed throughout the text to assist readers. Reference features include a timeline of historic events, sources for further reading, glossary of terms, bibliography and index.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers of the City of London, Vol. 1: Based Upon Their Own Records In one respect alone the records are disappointing. They do not include any register of makers' marks, nor do the Accounts contain receipts for registration fees. It is probable, therefore, that this registra tion was of the simplest character, and consisted merely of impressing the maker's mark upon the touch-plates at Pewterers' Hall. Most of the early marks are very small, and contain only the maker's initials, thus making it impossible to identify the mark with certainty, although the list of members of the Company extends, back to the middle of the fifteenth century. The earliest information of importance respecting the Company is found in their Ordinances for the year 1348, in the middle of the long reign of Edward III. The Company is described as the Craft of Pewterers and the Ordinances deal exclusively with matters relating to the trade. In the ancient oath, which bears every evidence of being at least as old as these Ordinances, there is associated with the Craft the Brotherhood of the Assumption of Our Lady. The main object of the regulations of 1348 was to enforce a high standard of quality and workmanship upon makers of English pewter, a reputation for which it has ever since been the great aim of the Company to maintain. Another early Ordinance for the regulation of the trade was approved by the Court of Aldermen on the 3oth of March, 1438. This was followed, six years later, by an Order of the Common Council grant ing the Company the right to purchase one-fourth part of all the tin brought up for Sale to London.
