Reviews

"A gold mine... The author creates a fascinating story, rich in tidbits and anecdotes."--Choice "A marvelous book about an important, interesting, and diverting subject." --American Historical Review "Thompson is surely right about the long term change: the class stratification of tavern culture did cause some people to stop hearing voices with contrary opinions."--William and Mary Quarterly
