In a number of related case-studies, this book traces the social political, and cultural factors making for conformity and obedience, and those promoting dissidence and revolt in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. The essays explore the significance of the concept of honour in forming the mentality of the ruling elites, the role of region, humanism, and law in promoting social and political solidarity, and the influences at work in the changing styles of political action as illustrated by the careers of four magnates.
Reviews & endorsements
' … his essays … emerge, evidently after long brooding, from a mind steeped in a wide historical and literary culture and informed by social anthropology. Without jargon or overt discussion of methodology, they explore the significance in terms of political action and social structure of attitude, often expressed in symbolic form … Historians … will find reading, meditating upon and arguing with this book immensely stimulating.' The Times Literary Supplement
