Résumé:

"The seventeenth century in England saw times of political turmoil and social upheaval. Generally, however, life in the country house continued, though not without its own share of tribulations as this study of the domestic lives of the gentry so vividly shows." "Basing his research on a wide range of primary sources, Dr. Cliffe explores every aspect of life on a country estate."--Jacket.
