商品簡介
The Stuart era was a turbulent time in a world on the brink of change. Diarists from the famous Samuel Pepys to the gardener John Evelyn here brush shoulders with anonymous household accounts and well-known poets, describing events from the Great Fire of London to the coronations and depositions of kings and queens.
Andrea Zuvich guides the reader through a year with the ordinary people and the movers and shakers of the Stuart era, lavishly illustrated in full color, providing the definitive timeline for this period in history. By turns entertaining, thought-provoking and surprising, this book is for anyone who wants to know more about both the everyday yearly activities and the once-in-a-lifetime events that shaped Britain during the seventeenth century.
