Try asking her subjects... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElizabethans did all they could to survive in an age of sin and bling, of beddings and beheadings, galleons and guns. Explorers set sail for new worlds, risking everything to bring back slaves, gold and the priceless potato. Elizabeth lined her coffers while her subjects lived in squalor with hunger, violence and misery as bedfellows. Shakespeare shone and yet the beggars, doxies and thieves scraped and cheated to survive in the shadows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese were dangerous days. If you survived the villains, and the diseases didn't get you, then the lawmen might. Pick the wrong religion and the scaffold or stake awaited you. The toothless, red-wigged queen sparkled in her jewelled dresses, but the Golden Age was only the surface of the coin. The rest was base metal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e George Weidenfeld \u0026amp; Nicholson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780226378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Terry Deary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44174046527669,"sku":"9781780226378","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_efae5ed4-0697-4861-b1ae-a76f8efa0e26.jpg?v=1716300223","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dangerous-days-in-elizabethan-england-9781780226378","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
