Popular Culture And Popular Protest In Late Medieval And Early Modern Europe Av Michael (lancaster University Uk) Mullett

<P>This book, first published in 1987, looks at the culture of the masses and at the political language and actions of the crowd. It examines the enduring traits of a European demotic culture that was largely non-literate, and it then goes on to show how the political outlook of the lower classes arose from the moral attitudes contained in their culture, a culture that was deeply suffused by Christianity. Unlike upper-class culture, popular culture is resistant to change and has to be studied over a long period ¿ in this case the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Because its themes ¿ popular social values, riot and revolt ¿ are pervasive over both time and space, the book¿s geographical coverage is extensive, taking in most of western and central Europe.</P>
