It explores the issues of peer association, formative experiences, conformity and opposition from a youthful perspective. It highlights the role of the Church in shaping the time and manners of youth, analyses the youth's involvement in divine service, and their visits to alehouses in order to trace the expressions of identities which communicated the difference of the ages in hairstyles, dress, and entertainment.
