Curated by acclaimed scholar Nicholas Terpstra, Lives Uncovered is a collection of early modern primary sources organized around the human life cycle. Over 150 readings examine men and women from different social classes and different religious and racial groups, addressing sex and sexuality, food and drink, poverty, crime and punishment, religious tension and co-existence, and migration and emigration. Using a range of sources such as letters, wills, laws, diaries, fiction, and poems, Terpstra gives readers a comprehensive picture of everyday life in early modern Europe. Each of the life cycle chapters includes a combination of longer readings, shorter readings, and images.
