Nothing reveals as much about a society as its bad behaviour, and if Shakespeare's England is remembered for courtly ceremony, it was also an age of brawling, boozing and badmouthing. Drawing on contemporary behaviour manuals, court cases and sermons, Ruth Goodman, the presenter of Victorian Farm, reveals what most upset and infuriated our forebears. Her entertaining survey dishes the dirt on ninny-hammers, wittols, stinkards, and draggletails, and offers practical advice on how to handle yourself in a fight.
