"Drinking Matters" offers the first comparative survey of public
houses in preindustrial Europe. Drawing on a vast range of primary
sources, this long-term study establishes inns and taverns as
principal communication sites in local communities. Perennially
contested and continuously renegotiated, they catered for basic
human needs as well as infinite forms of social exchange. Close
scrutiny of regulation, premises and socio-cultural services sheds
new light on key processes like state building, confessionalization
and the emergence of a public sphere.
