It is now over twenty years since revisionist history began to transform our understanding of early modern England. In Remapping Early Modern England Kevin Sharpe proposes a new cultural turn in the study of the English Renaissance state. In contrast to the narrow definitions and debates of both revisionist and postrevisionist historians; he urges a broader interdisciplinary approach to the texts of authority; their performance and reception. This collection will help refigure our understanding of the history and politics of the period and the materials and methods of its study.

The chapters cover royalty; religion; family; law; economy; childhood; education and marriage. The views presented in the scholarly essays are backed up by cited evidence in contracts; letters and other surviving records. It is a very useful book for the study of women.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A dame is a dameBy A CustomerThis book is a fascinating compendium of women in Greek and Roman Egypt. It's easy to read and full of detail about the women who lived in these worlds. When you read about the personal lives; you are struck by the fact that not that much has changed: women back then met a guy; got married; had kids; and then they died. Sound familiar? And then you can't help but ask; is that all there is? There are helpful maps and a glossary.
