Produktinformationen zu „Taverns and Drinking in Early America (ePub)“
A look into the role of public houses, taverns, alcohol consumption in colonial American society.
Sharon V. Salinger'sTaverns and Drinking in Early Americasupplies the first study of public houses and drinking throughout the mainland British colonies. At a time when drinking water supposedly endangered one's health, colonists of every rank, age, race, and gender drank often and in quantity, and so taverns became arenas for political debate, business transactions, and small-town gossip sessions. Salinger explores the similarities and differences in the roles of drinking and tavern sociability in small towns, cities, and the countryside; in Anglican, Quaker, and Puritan communities; and in four geographic regions. Challenging the prevailing view that taverns tended to break down class and gender differences, Salinger persuasively argues they did not signal social change so much as buttress custom and encourage exclusion.

"Offers a fresh perspective on one of the colonial period's most important social institutions and the drinking behavior that was central to it ... Salinger's work is compelling throughout ... A significant and satisfying book." -Mark Edward Lender, American Historical Review
