This book combines theater and life in an attempt to consider how people inter- acted in face-to-face situations in early-modern England, and to examine the wider implications of those relationships for social organization. The research behind the text is interdisciplinary: it draws on mid-Tudor comedies, the City comedies, and early-Stuart plays, illustrating how the dramatic realism of those playwrights interrelates to the real social world. "The idea of this book to recreate the social structure from the way persons addressed one another and the variety of social descriptors employed is long overdue." - Richard Smith, FBA Professor of Historical Demography, Cambridge University. "It's a novel study of an intrinsically interesting subject, drawn from sources never before systematically explored by social historians. It will prove a useful contribution to early modern English social & cultural history, opening another window on the lives, social networks, and language of ordinary folk." - Margo Todd, Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania. "David Postles was able to successfully combine research across the disciplinary boundaries between social history and literary and sociological analysis.... The result is a subtle and multivalent study of human conduct, social position, and the ways in which early-modern subjects sought to fashioning their own identities-and were in turn fashioned by others- through the language of social exchange." -- Greg Walker, Professor of Early-Modern Literature and Culture, University of Leicester. "This book promises to be simultaneously a significant con- tribution to interdisciplinary scholarship-across the fields of history, literature, and the social sciences-and a work of abiding human interest." - Charles Phythian-Adams, Professor Emeritus of English Local History, University of Leicester.
