Negotiating Power in Early Modern Society: Order, Hierarchy and Subordination in Britain and Ireland
Addressing the dynamics of power in early modern societies, this book challenges the existing tendency to see past societies in terms of binary oppositionssuch as male/female, rich/poor, rulers/ruled. Drawing on recent social theory, the essays offer a series of micro-sociologies of power in early modern society, ranging from the politics of age, gender and class to the politics of state-building in the post-Reformation confessional state. Its findings also have relevance for thinking about inequality in present-day societies.
