The Elizabethan Underworld

The Elizabethan world, so often recalled for its riotous love of life and bawdy sense of humour, was also a world of contrasts. The rich appeared enormously rich, indulging in extravagant luxuries, while the poor often languished in unthinkable squalour. Gamini Salgado investigates the underworld and those who were a part of it.
