What can a flurry of petitions and counter-petitions about Thomas Morely's disorderly alehouse tell us about popular politics? Find out in my *new* #OpenAccess article in @JBritishStudies on the #PowerOfPetitioning in early modern England: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Abstract This article examines the rise of a culture of local petitioning, through which growing numbers of ordinary people sought to win the support of state authorities through collective claims to represent the “voice of the people” at the local level. These participatory, subscriptional practices were an essential component in the intensification of popular politics in the seventeenth century. The analysis focuses on over 3,800 manuscript petitions submitted to the magistrates across fifteen jurisdictions with “sessions of the peace” in England, with nearly 1,000 dating from before 1640. Over the course of the early seventeenth century many, if not most, English parishes witnessed attempts to persuade the authorities through collective petitioning. ...
