How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan England: A Guide for Knaves, Fools, Harlots, Cuckolds, Drunkards, Liars, Thieves, and Braggarts by Ruth Goodman
3.0
Goodman has clearly brought a lot of detail and minutiae of daily Tudor- and Stewart-era life (the title is a bit of a misnomer) and it’s kind of interesting how mores have or haven’t changed over the years. But wow, does this read like molasses. Slow, really slow.
I haven’t read her earlier Tudor book, but I did read her Victorian book and that was laid out really well.
