Elizabethan Book Research

I wanted to further my research in the Elizabethan era and to do this I thought getting a book out from the library will definitely help me to gain more knowledge within the Elizabethan times. There were a

huge variety of books to chose from in the library, however this book was the one that caught my eye the most!

The Elizabethan World

In this book it shows a clear picture of a fascinating and hugely important period in history. It speaks about how the Elizabethan world portrays a time of transformation and a world order in transition. Some of the things in which it includes are social hierarchies, women, the family and household, popular culture, commerce and consumption, urban and rural economies, theatre, art, intellectual developments, exploration and imperialism and the Elizabethan wars. The book shows a clear picture of how politics, religion, popular culture, the world of work and social practices all fit together in a thrilling world of change. 

I found this book extremely interesting and very helpful as it gave me a great understanding of the structures, patterns, conditions and experiences of the Elizabethan era and I would definitely recommend it!

Below are some portraits of Queen Elizabeth I which I came across whilst looking at the book.
