The concept of cultural history has in the last few decades come to
the fore of historical research into early modern Europe. Due in no
small part to the pioneering work of Peter Burke, the tools of the
cultural historian are now routinely brought to bear on every
aspect of history, and have transformed our understanding of the
past. First published in 1978, this study examines the broad sweep
of pre-industrial Europe's popular culture. From the world of the
professional entertainer to the songs, stories, rituals and plays
of ordinary people, it shows how the attitudes and values of the
otherwise inarticulate shaped - and were shaped by - the shifting
social, religious and political conditions of European society
between 1500 and 1800. This third edition of Peter Burke's
groundbreaking study has been published to mark the thirtieth
anniversary of the book's publication in 1978. It provides a new
introduction reflecting the growth of cultural history, and its
increasing influence on 'mainstream' history, as well as an
extensive supplementary bibliography which further adds to the
information about new research in the area.
