Crime and Mentalities in Early Modern England - Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Gaskill, Malcolm (Churchill College, Cambridge)
This book explores the cultural contexts of law-breaking and criminal prosecution, and recovers their hidden social meanings. It also examines the crimes of witchcraft, coining and murder, in order to reveal new and important insights into how the thinking of ordinary people was transformed between 1550 and 1750.
