Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. audiobook nonfiction (social history - Shakespearean times) Interesting and entertaining look at social customs during Elizabethan times, from the proper way to stand/walk/bow/doff your cap (based on your social class), to background about sword fighting and other modes of battle, how to hurl insults at people and pick a fight, table manners, and so forth. Would be most helpful to Shakespearean actors and scholars, but also interesting to the rest of us layfolk. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Every age and social strata has its bad eggs, rule-breakers, and nose-thumbers. As acclaimed popular historian and author of How to Be a Victorian Ruth Goodman shows in her madcap chronicle, Elizabethan England was particularly rank with troublemakers, from snooty needlers who took aim with a cutting "thee," to lowbrow drunkards with revolting table manners. Goodman draws on advice manuals, court cases, and sermons to offer this colorfully crude portrait of offenses most foul. Mischievous readers will delight in learning how to time your impressions for the biggest laugh, why quoting Shakespeare was poor form, and why curses hurled at women were almost always about sex (and why we shouldn't be surprised). Bringing her signature exhilarating and contagious enthusiasm, this is a celebration of one of history's naughtiest periods, when derision was an art form.
