This book, first published in 1987, looks at the culture of the
masses and at the political language and actions of the crowd. It
examines the enduring traits of a European demotic culture that was
largely non-literate, and it then goes on to show how the political
outlook of the lower classes arose from the moral attitudes
contained in their culture, a culture that was deeply suffused by
Christianity. Unlike upper-class culture, popular culture is
resistant to change and has to be studied over a long period - in
this case the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Because
its themes - popular social values, riot and revolt - are pervasive
over both time and space, the book's geographical coverage is
extensive, taking in most of western and central Europe.
