Bacchus and civic order : the culture of drink in early modern Germany

Augsberg's taverns and drinking rooms ranged from poorly lit rooms to elaborate marble halls. This volume examines the social and cultural functions served by drinking and tavern life in Germany between 1500 and 1700, and challenges existing theories about urban identity, sociability and power.
