Book synopsis

The common theme of this selection of articles by David Cressy, is the linkage of elite and popular culture and the participation of ordinary people in the central events of their age. The collection also traces a development in historical style and method, from quantitative applications using statistics to qualitative telling of tales. Seven essays under the heading "Opportunities" explore problems of education, literacy and cultural attainment within the gendered and hierarchically ordered society of Elizabeth and Stuart England. Eight more under the heading "Passages" examine social and cultural interactions, kinship, migration, community celebrations, and rituals in the life-cycle.
