The Unbridled Tongue is a book about talking too much and why it was considered not just inadvisable but dangerous in sixteenth-century Europe. Drawing on a wide range of sources and approaches, it is the first book to address Renaissance literary portrayals of gossip and rumour in a social, religious, political, and historical frame.
