About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good +. First printing, octavo size, 756 pp. "Short, cheap pamphlets with catchy titles and crude woodcuts lured readers in early modern England. The pamphlets described notorious murders and the sometimes providential means by which the culprit was captured and condemned to the scaffold. In this extraordinary book, Peter Lake examines how various groups, protestant, puritan, and catholic, the press, and the popular stage, sought to enlist these pamphlets for their own ideological and commercial purposes in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. "[This] book redraws the intellectual map of early modern England...[and] takes us not merely to the print shops, book stalls and theaters, but also to the pulpits, prisons, and public executions of post-reformation England... by exploring popular literature and the way it was used Lake analyses contemporary notions of politics, religion, gender and social order" (n.b., information taken from the website of the Yale University Press).
