Binge drinking and illicit sex were just as common in the Dutch
Golden Age as they are today, if not more so. Sex, Drugs and Rock
'n' Roll in the Dutch Golden Age is a compelling narrative about
the generation of young men that came of age in the Dutch Republic
during the economic boom of the early seventeenth century. Contrary
to their parents' wishes, the younger generation grew up in luxury
and wore extravagant clothing, grew their hair long, and squandered
their time drinking and smoking. They created a new youth culture
with many excesses; one that we today associate with the
counterculture generation of the 1960s. With his engaging
storytelling style and humorous anecdotes, Roberts convincingly
reveals that deviant male youth behavior is common to all times,
especially periods when youngsters have too much money and too much
free time on their hands.
