Woodsmoke and Sage
The Five Sense 1485–1603: How the Tudors Experienced the World
Amy LicencePostscript summary
With an evocative approach centred on the five senses, Amy Licence offers new perspectives on the Tudor era. While sight dominates – whether a royal portrait sent abroad to secure a marriage or changes in the landscape following enclosure – her study covers topics including how the scent of tobacco was associated with good health, the importance of music, the seasonality of food and the sheer physicality of life with only rudimentary medicine.
