This magnificently illustrated book, now made available as a paperback, makes good use of specially commissioned photography to reveal the exuberance arts elizabethan entertainment and wild imagination that characterize the architecture, furniture arts elizabethan entertainment and interior decoration of the period.

The vivid narrative places this achievement against the backdrop of a rich social arts elizabethan entertainment and cultural life, when the theatre flourished, masques arts elizabethan entertainment and entertainments proliferated, chivalry was revived arts elizabethan entertainment and gardens were created as extensions to the house.
