The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England by Ian Mortimer
An entertaining, accessible guide to Elizabethan England--the latest in the Time Traveler's Guide seriesAcclaimed historian Ian Mortimer shows readers that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. Using diaries, letters, books, and other writings of the day, Mortimer offers a masterful portrait of daily life in Elizabethan England, re-creating the sights, sounds, and customs of the sixteenth century from the perspective of both peasants and royals. Through this lens, we can begin to understand Queen Elizabeth's subjects not only as a people profoundly shaped by the time in which they lived, but also as the people who shaped the world we know and the people we are today.
The Time-Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, by Ian Mortimer, is a best-selling book. He graduated from the University of Exeter with a BA, PhD, and DLitt, as well as a MA in archival studies from UCL. He has worked for the Historical Manuscripts Commission and the universities of Exeter and Reading, and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (for which he was given the Alexander Award in 2004). A series of four interconnected historical biographies spanning English politics from 1300 to 1415, as well as a groundbreaking study of medicine in seventeenth-century England, are among his other works.
