Description
Discover the art of bad behaviour in Renaissance Britain, where insults, mocking accents, and outrageous behaviour were all part of everyday life. From courtiers to commoners, everyone had their own way of rubbing people up the wrong way.
Ruth Goodman delves into the world of advice books, court cases, and sermons to uncover the secrets of bad behaviour in the Tudor and Stuart age. Learn how to choose the perfect insult, why quoting Shakespeare was considered poor form, and the best way to mock accents and social norms.
This fascinating exploration of real-life behaviour in 16th century Britain is a celebration of the unconventional and the outrageous. With a wealth of information on the history of bad behaviour, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in social history and the complexities of human behaviour.
