Which beverage got the popular vote – ale, grog, tea or coffee? Exploring the changes in the politics and places of sociability from the English Revolution to Enlightenment, this panel examined commercial and private locations with associated gendered, political, sexual and insurgent possibilities. Our speakers examined the complex politics and politeness of pre-modern pubs, coffee houses, salons and more. Panellists included Dr Elizabeth Eger (King's College London) and Prof. Sue Wiseman (Birkbeck).
