Since its first appearance in 1925, Elizabethan Life in Town and Country (1961) has securely established itself both for the general reader and the student as an accepted authority for the social history of the age. Its range and method are indicated by the reviewer who hailed it as ‘more enthralling than a best-seller’, and by the Times Literary Supplement which described it as having ‘almost every sentence based on contemporary description’.
