Nobody in Tudor England wrote down what they got up to in bed. What they did write down, at length, was trouble: who was seen with whom, who promised to marry whom, and who called a neighbour a whore in the street.
This book is built from those records, mostly the church courts, where ordinary people gave remarkably detailed evidence about their neighbours' private lives. Pieced together, they give a surprisingly frank picture of how sixteenth-century people actually lived, loved and gossiped.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (218 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
