Excerpt from Parish Life Under Queen Elizabeth: An Introductory StudyMy Object in this little book is to present a broad picture of Elizabethan life. I have called it an Introductory Study, as it would require a larger volume than this to deal with the details of such a complicated subject. The book is intended for the general reader, who may wish to know some thing of how the Elizabethan Reformation affected the every-day life of the people. As there is so much in dispute, I have thought it best to add references, and these may be of some aid to students of the period. In addition, they will serve to give some support to my positions and to clear the air amid the dust of controversy. I have done my best to eliminate prejudice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
