This module uses the principal communication hub of premodern society as a window into
evolving patterns of sociability, political agency, consumption habits, gender roles, confessional identities,
crime and sexual relations. Drinking houses hosted an infinite range of social exchange, allowing us to
trace people from the cradle to the grave.
