It recreates one of the most famous episodes, in which crowds from Essex and Suffolk attacked and plundered the houses of the gentry, and sought to ""ethnically cleanse"" their communities of Catholics. The deeper perspective offered by history shows that this action was not ""blind violence"": the book deciphers the logic that informed the crowd's behavior, and finds evidence of both the importance - and reach - of puritanism and popular parliamentarianism.Past and present publications.Political violenceEnglandColchester RegionHistory17th centurySocial conflictEnglandColchester RegionHistory17th centuryPillageEnglandColchester RegionHistory17th centuryRiotsEnglandColchester RegionHistory17th centuryGreat BritainHistoryPuritan Revolution, 1642-1660Destruction and pillageStour Valley (Cambridgeshire, Essex, and Suffolk, England)HistoryColchester (England : District)HistoryElectronic books.Political violenceHistorySocial conflictHistoryPillageHistoryRiotsHistory942.06/2Walter John1948-895908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455066903321Understanding popular violence in the English Revolution2001551UNINA
