Early modern England was marked by profound changes in economy,
society, politics and religion. It is widely believed that the
poverty and discontent which these changes often caused resulted in
major rebellion and frequent 'riots'. Whereas the politics of the
people have often been described as a 'many-headed monster';
spasmodic and violent, and the only means by which the people could
gain expression in a highly hierarchical society and a state that
denied them a political voice, the essays in this collection argue
for the inherently political nature of popular protest through a
series of studies of acts of collective protest, up to and
including the English Revolution. The work of John Walter has
played a central role in defining current understanding of the
field and has been widely read and cited by those working on the
politics of subaltern groups. This collection of essays offers a
radical re-evaluation of the nature of crowds and protests during
the period, and it will make fascinating reading for historians of
the period. -- .
