Stuart England was a society undergoing rapid transformation, as living standards rose, and a growing proportion of the population was living in urban areas. It was also a time of war, revolution, plague and religious conflict. The age is remembered for notable figures such as Oliver Cromwell, Isaac Newton, and Samuel Pepys, but what was life like for ordinary people during such tumultuous events as the Civil War, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire of London? The author brings life in seventeenth-century 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. 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.
