These essays, three of them previously unpublished, explore the
competing claims of innovation and tradition among the lower orders
in sixteenth-century France. The result is a wide-ranging view of
the lives and values of men and women (artisans, tradesmen, the
poor) who, because they left little or nothing in writing, have
hitherto had little attention from scholars. The first three essays
consider the social, vocational, and sexual context of the
Protestant Reformation, its consequences for urban women, and the
new attitudes toward poverty shared by Catholic humanists and
Protestants alike in sixteenth-century Lyon. The next three essays
describe the links between festive play and youth groups, domestic
dissent, and political criticism in town and country, the festive
reversal of sex roles and political order, and the ritualistic and
dramatic structure of religious riots. The final two essays discuss
the impact of printing on the quasi-literate, and the collecting of
common proverbs and medical folklore by learned students of the
"people" during the Ancien Regime. The book includes eight pages of
illustrations.
