Review:

"Independent historian Roberts explores the lives and times of a heretofore-unexamined group--young men between the ages of 18 and 35, on the cusp of adulthood, living in what he claims to be a unique time and place in the history of Europe. Roberts focuses his study on the Dutch Republic during its 'economic boom, ' a relatively brief time period, 1620 to 1630, and examines various sources, including letters, court records, and university rosters, to support his contentions. Sex, violence, school, alcohol use, and courtship allow Roberts to cast his net wide to try and include, wherever possible, the full scope of the lives of young men. . . . An important addition to the study of gender and masculinity in early modern Europe. . . . Recommended."--J. M. Morris, College of Mount St. Joseph "Choice "
