Download or read book Shakespeare s Pub written by Pete Brown and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of Britain told through the story of one very special pub, from "The Beer Drinker's Bill Bryson" (Times Literary Supplement) Welcome to the George Inn near London Bridge; a cosy, wood-paneled, galleried coaching house a few minutes' walk from the Thames. Grab yourself a pint, listen to the chatter of the locals and lean back, resting your head against the wall. And then consider this: who else has rested their head against that wall, over the last six hundred years? Chaucer and his fellow pilgrims almost certainly drank in the George on their way out of London to Canterbury. It's fair to say that Shakespeare popped in from the nearby Globe for a pint, and we know that Dickens certainly did. Mail carriers changed their horses here, before heading to all four corners of Britain—while sailors drank here before visiting all four corners of the world. The pub, as Pete Brown points out, is the 'primordial cell of British life' and in the George he has found the perfect example. All life is here, from murderers, highwaymen, and ladies of the night to gossiping peddlers and hard-working clerks. So sit back with Shakespeare's Pub and watch as buildings rise and fall over the centuries, and 'the beer drinker's Bill Bryson' (UK's Times Literary Supplement) takes us on an entertaining tour through six centuries of history, through the stories of everyone that ever drank in one pub.

Book excerpt: “This important volume sheds new light on the social, political, and economic role of beer in society.... Highly Recommended.”—Choice A Choice Outstanding Academic Book of The Year 2011 Winner of the 2011 Gourmand World Cookbook UK Award Beer is an ancient alcoholic drink which, although produced through a more complex process than wine, was developed by a wide range of cultures to become internationally popular. This book is the first multidisciplinary, cross-cultural collection about beer. It explores the brewing processes used in antiquity and in traditional societies; the social and symbolic roles of beer-drinking; the beliefs and activities associated with it; the health-promoting effects as well as the health-damaging risks; and analyses the modern role of large multinational companies, which own many of the breweries, and the marketing techniques that they employ. From the introduction: What made you pick up this book? Was it the thought of that foaming pint while you relaxed in a British pub, a German beer garden, a Czech restaurant, an American or ‘Continental’ bar, on a beach or ski slope or in front of the television at home? Wherever your beer was purchased, in much of the world you would have been offered choice. The choice might only have been between different brand names of bottled beer, or it might have been between a wide range of ales, lagers, wheat and other beers from a cask, a keg, cans or bottles. Even people who do not drink beer will be aware of this diversity....the editors believe that this collation of perspectives on beer will also intrigue many readers in the general public.

Download or read book The British Pub in Medieval and Modern Society written by Deborah De Muijnck and published by Grin Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 2.3, TU Dortmund (Anglistik - Britische Kulturwissenschaft), course: "He that will an Alehouse keep" - The British Pub, language: English, abstract: The pub is one of the main aspects which especially tourists connect with the British. Other stereotypes of Britishness might be boiled meat in mint sauce, English breakfast, warm beer ("real ale") and rain - things which are also connected to the British pub as it does not only provide food and drinks but also warmth and cosiness as a protection from bad weather. The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, are said to have been the first literary work in the vernacular in Great Britain (eNotes 2009: par. The Canterbury Tales/ Introduction). It might not be too surprising that the book starts in a pub, more precisely in an inn called the Tabard (Coghill 1951: 6). The Canterbury Tales are a collection of different stories such as romances, allegories and farces which are told by 25 travellers of nearly all social classes who meet in the Tabard to start their journey. The group consists of pilgrims who travel to Canterbury in order to visit the tomb of Sir Thomas Beckett. They return to the Tabard at the end of their pilgrimage (Coghill 1951: 23). The term "pub" or "public house" arose in the late 19th century - its "ancestors" were the alehouse, the tavern and the inn which all provided different facilities and caterings for different social groups. While the alehouse mostly sold ale, beer and simple food for the lower class, upper class people were offered wine and well prepared meals in the tavern. The inn, like the Tabard, was a business for travellers who were able to afford better accomodation and more elaborate meals (Brandwood, Davison and Slaughter 2004: 1-6) . The fact that travellers of different social groups meet in the Tabard probably does not only give us an overview of British society
