Greetings!

Browsing tonight, I ran across a web site I would like to commend to
you.  You may find it at:

http://renaissance.dm.net/compendium/home.html

Although it's aim is towards Ren Faire folks, I very much like its
tone, style, and most of all it's readability (the introduction is
called "Short Attention Span History", which gives you some idea how
seriously it takes itself). 

It gives you the cultural history of the Elizabethan age in very short
sound bites, on varied topics (servants, letter writing, using the
language, money, etc.) - just enough to sound a bit more like you
*are* of a certain place and time without also sounding like a
research project.

I'm sure that there are TONS of errors that a serious, serious
researcher will quibble with.  However, to my eye, it seems an
excellent resource for those among us who simply wish to play the
"persona game" with a bit more spice.  (Also, I wasn't able to find
anything that jumped out at me as "wrong, Wrong, WRONG!!")

Happy Surfing!

Anastasia
