Curated by acclaimed scholar Nicholas Terpstra, Lives Uncovered is
a captivating collection of early modern primary sources organized
around the human life cycle. The collection begins with a short
essay titled "How to Read a Primary Source," which helps readers
recognize different kinds of primary sources and introduces the
idea of critical reading. A second brief essay, "Life Cycles in the
Early Modern Period," details the organization of the volume and
explains each stage in the life cycle within its historical
context. Over 150 readings examine men and women from different
social classes and different religious and racial groups,
addressing topics that include sex and sexuality, food and drink,
poverty, crime and punishment, religious tension and coexistence,
and migration and emigration. Using a creative range of sources
such as letters, wills, laws, diaries, fiction, and poems, Terpstra
gives readers a comprehensive picture of everyday life in early
modern Europe and in other parts of the globe that Europeans were
beginning to settle and colonize. Each of the life-cycle chapters
includes a combination of longer readings, shorter readings, and
images. Every reading begins with a short introduction that sets
the context of the primary source, while review questions
complement the main themes of the readings. Over 30 illustrations
serve as non-textual primary sources. An index is also provided.
