In this important study, Professor McIntosh argues against the
suggestion that social regulation was a distinctive feature of the
decades around 1600, resulting from Puritanism. Instead, through an
examination of 255 village and small-town communities distributed
throughout England, Professor McIntosh demonstrates that concern
with wrongdoing mounted gradually between 1370 and 1600. In an
attempt to maintain good order and enforce ethical conduct, local
leaders prosecuted people who slandered or quarrelled with their
neighbours, engaged in sexual misdeeds, operated unruly alehouses,
or refused to work. Professor McIntosh also explores who the
offenders were as well as the factors that led to misbehaviour and
shaped responses to it. More generally, Professor McIntosh sheds
light on the transition from medieval to early modern patterns and
succeeds here in opening up little-known sources and new research
methods.
