It talks about everything from the social classes to the beauty standards; and it gives you a thorough run down of what an elizabethan theater experience wouldve been like. It has some pictures here and there to break things up a little;which makes it a lot less intimidating to look at. Over all it was a very helpful book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about shakespeare and his time period.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. a wonderfully evocative bookBy Stephanie CowellI found myself looking at the Elizabethan world through a fork dug up beneath a theater; a broken pottery "box office;" a rapier; a common wool cap.

A very original and real concept.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

In many ways it reminded me of Bill Bryson/s "Home"
