How to Behave Badly in Elizabethan England

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

so-so

I think I like the specific topic more than Goodman's standard strategy of summarizing a whole period. But I've also read reputable researchers contradict some of the stuff she's saying here, and some of THAT could accounted for by writing about such a long time period (it says elizabethan but it's about the whole Tudor and Stuart eras). But not actively bad I guess.

Trying to take a cute picture and then *somebody* decides to take a quick taste of my library book as I learn about polite vs. impolite language in Elizabethan England 🙄

Tamra Fair game! 5y

NeedsMoreBooks How can you take a cute picture without your dog? 🥺 5y

HeyT I've had that same problem recently with my kitten. Every time I try to catch her with my current reads she tries to nom on the corners. I have to wait for her to sleep if I want her to “pose“ with my books. 5y
