How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan England: A Guide for Knaves, Fools, Harlots, Cuckolds, Drunkards, Liars, Thieves, and Braggarts by Ruth Goodman

4.0

Obviously I am a nerd who loves the minutiae of daily life in historical periods, so this was right up my alley. Moreover, I listened to the audiobook which is delightfully narrated. My only real complaint is that although I attempted many of the gaits, gestures, and other physical movements described herein, I probably haven't internalized them enough to actually use rude Elizabethan gestures in a quarrel in the street. I am certainly going to make better use of the word 'knave' though.
