CHOICE Review
In this excellent introduction to popular culture in early modern England, each contributor contextualizes early modern life against larger historical events. The volume is divided into three parts titled "Key Issues," "Everyday Life," and "The Experience of the World." Part 1 considers methodology, historiography, and "challenges prevailing assumptions about how we approach fundamental aspects of popular culture." Part 2 features chapters such as "Work," "Crime," and "Games." Part 3 "looks at the importance of prevailing cultural structures and apparatus to the early modern understanding of the world." Contributors are sensitive to current treatment of historical topics such as gender issues, urban life, and food culture, while paying close attention to more traditional historical considerations such as politics, religion, property, the military, and the arts. The book boasts an impressive list of contributors, and is written to be easily understood by both and expert audiences. It can be read through in its entirety as a textbook; alternatively, readers may wish to consult individual chapters as starting points for research. Ample footnotes and bibliographies for additional reading are provided. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above. --Christine Bombaro, Dickinson CollegeAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
