The Compendium of Common Knowledge gives you the inside story on daily life in the world of Shakespeare and Good Queen Bess. It's witty and charming, and better yet, it's perfect for the everyday reader. Painstakingly researched and illustrated from period sources, each page dishes up details about food, games, and gossip, as well as the work, weddings, and beliefs of more than 400 years ago. Thereâs a detailed index to make it easy to find stuff, plus a good bibliography. There's even a bonus chapter on persona building. Whether you're a student, a writer, or a Ren Fest fan, you should have this book.
