This book explores and exemplifies some of the subtler links
between opinion, governance and law in early modern England by
investigating moral panics. Modern media-driven 'law and order'
panics may have originated in eighteenth-century England, with the
development of the press and government sensibility to opinion, but
there were earlier panics about witchcraft and popery. Essays by an
experienced team of scholars discuss broadly episodes of moral
panic before and after 1689, and consider their implications for
changes in governance.
