The Extraordinary and the Everyday in Early Modern England

Essays in Celebration of the Work of Bernard Capp

Herausgegeben: McShane, A.; Walker, G.

Beschreibung

A fascinating collection of essays by renowned and emerging scholars exploring how everyday matters from farting to friendship reveal extraordinary aspects of early modern life, while seemingly exceptional acts and beliefs - such as those of ghosts, prophecies, and cannibalism - illuminate something of the routine experience of ordinary people.

Rezensionen

'Overall this volume is distinguished by a number of substantial studies, while all the essays at least yield interesting insights and raise intriguing possibilities. They make a fitting tribute.' - Martin Ingram, Brasenose College, Oxford, English Historical Review
