What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Roger Chartier is doing some of the best writing today on the character of early modern European culture. Whether his subject is the literature of feasting or dying, of manners or rogues, every essay is a jewel. At last we have a fine English translation of the works of this outstanding practitioner of the French school of history."—Natalie Zemon Davis, Princeton University
