Book Synopsis
Power and the People describes how England remained governable between 1525 and 1640, despite the wars, famine, epidemics, and dynastic and religious crises of the period. The book surveys the mechanisms of authority at various levels, from the street and alehouse to the manor and the royal court.

Trade Review
'This is social history with the politics put back, and political history at its best.' John Guy, Professor of Modern History, University of St. Andrews 'This judicious and perceptive survey will be essential reading for teachers and students. A thought-provoking synthesis which draws both on Dr Wall's own research and on extensive secondary reading.' History 'Every point raised is dealt with competently and with well-selected illustrative details.' The English Historical Review
