Drat! I was all ready to sing the praises of The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series as a useful tool for writers, having read the volume on life in Chaucer’s England by Forgeng and McLean (quite readable but detailed), but the books on Elizabethan England and the Vikings (yes, that’s two separate books) don’t seem nearly as detailed or thorough, especially the Viking one. Maybe I’m expecting too much.
Well, they are reasonable places to start, but I think I’d have to supplement my reading quite a bit about the Vikings in particular, beyond what I’ve found here, before I’d feel ready to write a story set during that time.
