商品簡介
This collection features 15 of Cressy's essays published between 1976 and 1996 exploring the interaction of rulers and subjects, and the linkage between the affairs of the kingdom and everyday life. Seven essays delineate the structures and constraints of early modern society, focusing on problems of education, literacy and cultural attainment within the gendered and hierarchically ordered society of Elizabeth and Stuart England. Eight essays address the interactions of elite and popular culture, focusing on the social and cultural interactions, community celebrations and rituals, and crises and problems within the changing English and Anglo-American world of the 16th and 17th centuries.
