Locating Privacy in Tudor London - Orlin, Lena Cowen (Presidential Research Professor of English at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Visiting Professor of English at Georgetown University, and Executive Director of the Shakespeare Association of America.)

Lena Orlin paints a dense picture of everyday life in Renaissance England, with an emphasis on personal privacy, the built environment, and the life story of a remarkable undiscovered woman - merchant's wife and mother of four, Alice Barnham - with a central role in some of the most important untold stories of sixteenth-century women.
