Histories of Everyday Life Around the World

About the Book Series

The series consists of research monographs that delve into particular aspects of everyday life, especially the lives of non-elite people, in any place-time in history. Possibilities include (but are not limited to) detailed accounts of work encompassing both techniques, skills, and knowledge on the one hand and social relations with clients, co-workers, masters, and employers on the other; in-depth accounts of family relations both economic and emotional; and multi-facetted accounts of religious experience and the socio-economic relations around religion. We welcome research that draws on published texts, archives, and material culture, and that borrows insights and methods from fields such as anthropology and sociology to gain access to the experiences of working people.

Please contact Dorothea Schaefter, Publisher at Routledge ([email protected]) to submit a proposal or to find out more about the series.
