Book Synopsis
In Renaissance Culture and the Everyday, scholars illuminate the sometimes surprising issues at stake in such common matters of daily life as mirrors, books, horses, money, laundry baskets, graffiti, embroidery, and food during the Renaissance in England and on the Continent.

Trade Review
"A lively and illuminating collection of essays that extends the recent trend away from a concentration on structures of state power and religious authority and toward the domestic, the local, and the ordinary. But the ordinary, in the skillful analyses brought together in this volume, proves to be extraordinarily charged with conflict, strangeness, and dramatic intensity. Fumerton and Hunt have assembled some of the most interesting voices in Renaissance studies today." * Stephen Greenblatt *
