This collection is concerned with the articulation, mediation and
reception of authority; the preoccupations and aspirations of both
governors and governed in early modern England. It explores the
nature of authority and the cultural and social experiences of all
social groups, especially insubordinates. These essays probe in
depth the ways in which young people responded to adults, women to
men, workers to masters, and the 'common sort' to their 'betters'.
Early modern people were not passive receptacles of principles of
authority as communicated in, for example, sermons, statutes and
legal process. They actively contributed to the process of
government, thereby exposing its strengths, weaknesses and
ambiguities. In discussing these issues the contributors provide
fresh points of entry to a period of significant cultural and
socio-economic change.
