Restoration London: Everyday Life in the 1660s

`From poverty to pets, from medicine to magic, from slang to sex, from wallpaper to women`s rights` A glorious portrait of life in London from 1660-1670 by the bestselling author of ELIZABETH`S LONDON. Making use of every possible contemporary source – diaries, memoirs, advice books, government papers, almanacs, even the Register of Patents – Liza Picard presents an enthralling picture of how life in London was really lived in the 1600s: the houses and streets, gardens and parks, cooking, clothes and jewellery, cosmetics, hairdressing, housework, laundry and shopping, medicine and dentistry, sex, education, hobbies, etiquette, law and crime, religion and popular beliefs.
