How did ladies get made up in the 16th century? Why, with lead, madder, and egg whites, of course!

In this episode Melita Thomas talks about Bess of Hardwick, the Tudor Times Person of the Month. Since I had already done an episode on Bess in October 2015, we jumped right in to talking more specifically about land ownership and widows rights in Tudor England, so if you don't know much about Bess, I'd encourage you to listen to the other episode - I'll link to it in the show notes at Englandcast.com.

The 16th century saw an explosion of printing and the rise of literature in England, as well as the rest of Europe. The printing press made printing large numbers of pamphlets, broadsheets, newspapers, and books easy, resulting in things like the standardization of education, the spread of Protestant ideas, and of course, the rise in questionable risque materials flowing throughout courts in Europe.
