So, this is watching rather than reading, but I've really enjoyed the historian Lucy Worsley's documentaries from the BBC. She does a lot of hands-on re-enactment like sleeping in a Tudor rope bed or trying to climb our of an ice-cold pond in a medieval wool dress. There's a lot of sensory details that come through in her shows (and her writing like
If Walls Could Talk) that have really helped me create an immersive fantasy atmosphere.
To this I would add Tudor Monastery Farm, also by the BBC where a historian and two archaeologists live as Tudors for a year and filmed their experience. I believe the whole thing is available on YouTube. (There are several Farm series - Victorian, Edwardian, Wartime - and they are all WONDERFUL, I will watch Ruth Goodman (the historian) do absolutely anything).
Ruth also wrote a book about the experience - what it felt like to live as a Tudor for a year (How to be a Tudor: a Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life). I haven't read that one yet, but her Victorian one was amazing, and included details about food, clothing, diapers, menstrual pads, work, sports, pubs, etc. etc. - all the tiny details of day-to-day life. Now, the Tudor stuff is all very specifically 1500s, and also very British, but it does fall within your stated range, so... *shrug*
There was another BBC series you might be interested in called Secrets of the Castle where the same group of three went to France and lived on the site where a crew is reconstructing a medieval castle using the technology of the time (this one is 1200s). So you get detailed information about how a blacksmith worked, for example. And a local water mill, a trebuchet, etc. Ruth also talks about how the home would have been kept on a castle building site, and a bit about life inside the castle. This one is also all on YouTube.
I'm a giant dork, I love all this stuff. And the hosts are great. Very knowledgeable, and so excited about getting to try for real all the things they've read about in their studies.
