Drinking Matters: Public Houses and Social Exchange in Early Modern Central Europe (Early Modern History: Society and Culture) Book

Drinking Matters offers the first comparative survey of public houses in preindustrial Europe. Drawing on a vast range of primary sources, this long-term study establishes inns and taverns as principal communication sites in local communities.

Close scrutiny of regulation, premises and socio-cultural services sheds new light on key processes like state building, confessionalization and the emergence of a public sphere.Read More
