That sounds interesting. I'm wanting to look for a book on renaissance profanity, haven't actually gotten to the stage of looking for it yet, thought.
This is something you might find interesting: What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew. Covers a broad swath of life in the 19th century, like where people sat in formal dinners, how to play whist, etc. And you can get used paperbacks for dirt cheap. I got an ex lib for a very nice price.
