It is axiomatic that English people came to understand their places
in society differently by the late seventeenth century. This
collection explores how that happened by exploring how membership
in communities was defined, and how individuals and corporate
groups acted out their understanding of their places in society.
Keith Wrightson's powerful exploration of how concepts of
neighborliness evolved as the economy changed is joined with
Marjorie K. McIntosh's work on changing identity politics in market
towns. The confusions over identity and community inherent in
border towns are taken up by K.J. Kesselring, while David Dean
examines the mnemonic devices used in the Elizabethan Lottery to
understand how people saw their communities. The overlapping worlds
of London, Court and country are portrayed by Alexandra Johnston
and Joseph Ward, while Catherine Patterson looks at the rhetoric of
urban magistracy. The complexity of London's communities is
explored by Shannon McSheffrey in her work on the liminal place of
the late medieval clergy and sexual morality; by Ian Archer in his
portrait of the charity of London widows; and by Paul Griffiths in
a concluding chapter on the rhetorics of London's civil and
religious identity, as seen in the discussions of growth that
swirled around the building of Bridewell Hospital.
