Schlitz, L. A. (2007). Good masters, sweet ladies Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
A collection of twenty two viagnetes that outline the lives of 22 differet characters told in monologue form in which they share their roles and a little bit of their lives. Each independent character plays an important role to society and we learn that based on their descsriptions. We also learn about their personalities, worries an likes. We have Thomas, who is the doctor's son and is naturally expected to follow his footsteps. We have Mogg whose father died and now there's an expectation she must meet. And the list goes on...
This reminded me of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, obviously not the same caliber, but the general idea is somehow the same. Each monologue reveals a different character and a different set of personalities and likes and dislikes. Entertaining an informational it gives us an insight of what took place during the time period.
