Life in Elizabethan England:
A Compendium of Common Knowledge, 1558-1603
"So this is not a series of essays or articles, but rather bites of Elizabethan life that are, have been, or should be "common knowledge" for those of us who work and play in the 16th Century on a regular basis. It is primarily social history, not political or military. It is neither exhaustive nor comprehensive, but it is what the Elizabethans do, present tense. Links to other sites should fill in the blanks, although I can't account for anyone's authority but mine own."
