A proposito di questo titolo
In Shakespeare's lifetime, travel wasn't reserved for grand tours or royal progresses — it was woven into daily life. Ordinary Elizabethans crossed rivers, walked muddy roads, boarded boats, hired horses, and rode in wagons for business, family visits, market days, court appearances, and worship. England was constantly in motion. But how did people without titles or servants actually get from place to place, and what did it cost them in time, money, and effort?
Today we're joined by Dr. Charmian Mansell, Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Sheffield and award-winning author of Female Servants in Early Modern England. Her research uncovers the practical realities of everyday travel in the 16th and 17th centuries — from routes and lodging to ferries, weather delays, and the surprising distances ordinary people were willing to go.
