The story of everyday life is nowadays one of the most exciting and popular branches of historiography. It stems from dissatisfaction with the way much recent historical writing has focused on structures rather than on the life experience of real people. This new way of looking at the past is concerned with topics hitherto often neglected, or figuring as incidental material only.
