Introduction: The Extraordinary and the Everyday in Early Modern England / A.McShane & G.Walker -- Bodily Control and Social Unease: The Fart in Seventeenth-Century England / K.Thomas -- The Ambition of a YoungBaronet: Sir Thomas Isham of Lamport, 1657-1681 / A.Fletcher -- RobertRobertes and Little Cis: an Extraordinary Relationship / R.Houlbrouke -- Punishing Words: Insults and Injuries, 1525-1700 / P.Griffiths -- The World of Poor Robin's Intelligence: Comedy and Communication in Late Stuart London / D.M.Turner -- The Strangeness of the Familiar: Witchcraft and the Law in Early ModernEngland / G.Walker -- Ann Jeffries and the Fairies: Folk Belief and the War on Scepticism in Later Stuart England / P.Marshall -- Wyclif's Well: Lollardy, Landscape and Memory in Post-Reformation England / A.Walsham -- 'Boiled and Stewed with Roots and Herbs': Everyday Tales of Cannibalism in EarlyModern Virginia / C.Armstrong -- Glimpses of the Obscure: the Witch Trials of the Channel Islands /D.Ogier -- The Extraordinary Case of the Blood-Drinking and Flesh-Eating Cavaliers / A.McShane -- Mother Shipton and the Devil / D.Oldridge -- Bleedinge Afreshe'? The Affray and Murder at Nantwich, 19 December 1572 / S.Hindle -- Publications by Professor Bernard Capp, FBA / T.Reinke-Williams.

This fascinating collection of essays written by renowned and emerging scholars of the early modern period explores the relationship between the extraordinary and the everyday to provide a greater understandingof and new insights into the mental and material worlds of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. By juxtaposing cases that struck earlymodern people as irregular or strange withthings that they found perfectly usual, everyday matters such as household relationships, farting,drinking and exchanging insults are shown to reveal extraordinary aspects of early modern life, whileseemingly exceptional events and beliefs; such as those involving ghosts, prophecies, and cannibalism; illuminate something of the routine experience of ordinary people. The contributions present not one worldview, nor adopt one way of approaching or illuminating the past. Rather, they demonstratethat categories such asthe strange and the commonplace should be and were the subject of constant renegotiation, just as they are now.
