This study of the political attitudes of ordinary Londoners during
the reign of Charles II examines not only the manifestations of
public opinion - for example, riot and demonstration - but also the
manner of its formation - religious experience, economic activity,
and exposure to mass political propaganda. Professor Harris shows
to be misleading the conventional view, that the whigs enjoyed the
support of the London masses, and the tories were essentially
anti-populist. Both sides had public support during the exclusion
crisis, and this division stemmed from fundamental religious
tensions within London political culture, dating back to 1660 and
before. Attractively illustrated with polemical contemporary
engravings, London Crowds demonstrates clearly the value of
bringing together both high and low activity into a truly
integrated social history of politics, and sheds important new
light not just on urban agitation but on the nature of late-Stuart
party conflict.
