Description

What makes a good life? People in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were as concerned about living in an enriching and edifying way as we are now. Historian Leah Astbury, and French Literature academic Emma Claussen dive into the lives of people in the past picking through books, ballads and diaries. Is a life well-spent a godly one or a hedonistic one? From universities to dingy London taverns, Leah and Emma explore a transformative period in European history, enjoying a glass of wine or two along the way.
