Where do I learn more about daily life? Anonymous 2017-07-13 05:03:48 Post No. 3074758 [Report]

Wars and kings don't really interest me at all, but I've recently realized that I love history if I'm learning about the more "mundane" aspects of life -- how they built their houses, how they dressed, how they made things, their opinions on all sorts of topics, etc. I'm looking for youtube videos about these topics mostly, but I'd be interested in any source of information.

I really enjoy Jon Townsend, Lindybeige and Scholagladitoria on youtube. That's what I want -- just a dude telling me the facts straight up, unlike documentaries which are a lot of filler footage and some guy rambling in generalizations. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I'm most interested in European history before the 18th century but I'll take anything.

I also want to add, I'd love to see more websites like this: http://www.hurstwic.org/history/text/history.htm

All of the information is neatly organized, very concise and loaded with information and I don't have to sift through any filler at all to learn about any of the topics.

There are two terms you want to learn: "Alltaggeschichte", which is German for "everyday history", and "social history", history as viewed from the commoners. Any books using those terms will help.

I completely agree, OP. Ido like my kings amd wars, but daily life is attractive too. There are tons of books dealing with daily lives. It's not a very rare subject at all.
