Overview

Since its first appearance in 1925, Elizabethan Life in Town and Country (1961) has securely established itself both for the general reader and the student as an accepted authority for the social history of the age. Its range and method are indicated by the reviewer who hailed it as ‘more enthralling than a best-seller’, and by the Times Literary Supplement which described it as having ‘almost every sentence based on contemporary description’.

Reviews

‘This is an excellent book, full of interesting detail upon domestic things, and of just the sort we need today to illuminate the main lines of history.’ Hilaire Belloc ‘She has made that vigorous, confident age live for us anew.’ Sunday Times ‘It is a book rich with the fruits of scholarship and research, and yet carries its authority so easily that it is more readable than most novels… A book overflowing with good things.’ Punch
