The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England

The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England

The author of The Time Travelerâ€™s Guide to Medieval England takes you through the world of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I

From the author of The Time Travelerâ€™s Guide to Medieval England, this popular history explores daily life in Queen Elizabethâ€™s England, taking us inside the homes and minds of ordinary citizens as well as luminaries of the period, including Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Sir Francis Drake.

Organized as a travel guide for the time-hopping tourist, Mortimer relates in delightful (and occasionally disturbing) detail everything from the sounds and smells of sixteenth-century England to the complex and contradictory Elizabethan attitudes toward violence, class, sex, and religion. Â

Original enough to interest those with previous knowledge of Elizabethan England and accessible enough to entertain those without, The Time Travelerâ€™s Guide is a book for Elizabethan enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
