    摘要、提要註: This fascinating collection of essays written by renowned and emerging scholars of the early modern period explores the relationship between the extraordinary and the everyday to provide a greater understandingof and new insights into the mental and material worlds of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. By juxtaposing cases that struck earlymodern people as irregular or strange withthings that they found perfectly usual, everyday matters such as household relationships, farting,drinking and exchanging insults are shown to reveal extraordinary aspects of early modern life, whileseemingly exceptional events and beliefs; such as those involving ghosts, prophecies, and cannibalism; illuminate something of the routine experience of ordinary people. The contributions present not one worldview, nor adopt one way of approaching or illuminating the past. Rather, they demonstratethat categories such asthe strange and the commonplace should be and were the subject of constant renegotiation, just as they are now.
