Toward the Eighteenth Century
This book has a lot of super quotes - it was very thesis-like in that the introduction had 2 quotes, one from The Waning of the Middle Ages and the other from In Small Things Forgotten: An Archaeology of Early American Life and then the author's final paragraph from the introduction really set the tone for the book:
"Although relics from the past do survive, the everyday life of seventeenth-century Americans differed drastically from ours. As Fernand Braudel, like Deetz, reminds us to comprehend it we must 'strip ourselves in imagination of all the surroundings of our own lives.' The journey backward, he adds 'is a journey to another planet, another human universe."
And this author really hits a home run showing how different life was and giving us a full understanding of the frame of mind of people then, and what was going on in history and around them and all that created them; a super dramaturgy of the times.
The only thing I hate is the information in this book. It's so boring.
