Free Download Dave Tonge, "Tudor Folk Tales"
English | ISBN: 075099164X | 2019 | 192 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
In Tudor times the ‘common sort’ were no different from us, laughing together, mocking each other and sharing bawdy tales in tavern yards, marketplaces and anywhere else that people came together. These stories were later collected in the cheap print of the period, and professional storyteller Dave Tonge has sought them out to assemble here. Within these pages hide smooth-talking tricksters, lusty knaves, wayward youths and stories of the eternal struggle to wear the breeches in the family, for a sometimes coarse but often comic telling of the everyday ups and downs in Tudor life.

Free Download James Daybell, "Women Letter-Writers in Tudor England"
English | 2006 | pages: 343 | ISBN: 0199259917, 0198830971 | PDF | 1,5 mb
Women Letter-Writers in Tudor England represents one of the most comprehensive study of women’s letters and letter-writing during the early modern period to be undertaken, and acts as an important corrective to traditional ways of reading and discussing letters as private, elite, male, and non-political. Based on over 3,000 manuscript letters, it shows that letter-writing was a larger and more socially diversified area of female activity than has been hitherto assumed. In that letters constitute the largest body of extant sixteenth-century women’s writing, the book initiates a reassessment of women’s education and literacy in the period. As indicators of literacy, letters yield physical evidence of rudimentary writing activity and abilities, document "higher" forms of female literacy, and highlight women’s mastery of formal rhetorical and epistolary conventions.
