About the product Relying on various manuals and court cases of the Renaissance, Ruth Goodman creates a real feast for drunks and troublemakers of all stripes of the time when one could easily kill for rudeness, and the curse was not just words — it always worked. Annotation In every era, among the rulers and ordinary people, there were always provocateurs and scoundrels — those who broke the rules and showed people a bad example. And, according to the author, it is their behavior that provides the key to understanding how our society functions. This book is a brilliant and fascinating exploration of the world of the Tudor and Stuart era, in which you will find answers to the most unexpected questions: How to choose the perfect insult to create problems for yourself and others? Why is it not only inappropriate to quote Shakpere, but also completely unacceptable? How to push a person away from you just by showing him the inside of your hat? What are the best ways to bully a preacher, soldier, or just a neighbor? Plunge into the daring world of Elizabeth England!
