But their niggling, anti-social and irritating ways not only tell us about what upset people, but also what mattered to them, how their society functioned and what kind of world they lived in. In this brilliantly nitty-gritty exploration of real life in the Tudor and Stuart age, you will discover, amongst much more, how to choose the perfect insult; why quoting Shakespeare was very poor form; and why flashing the inside of your hat could repulse someone.
