This book is the first study to provide an integrated picture of the town during this crucial period in its history. It reveals the often problematic relations between the diverse groups of people who constituted local society - the Court, the aristocracy, the Abbey, the middling sort and the poor - and the competing visions of Westminster's identity which their presence engendered.Different chapters study the impact of the Reformation and of the building of Whitehall Palace; the problem of poverty and the politics of communal responsibility; the character and significance of the increasing gentry presence in the town; the nature and ideology of local governing elites; the struggles over the emerging townscape; and the changing religious culture of the area, including the problematic role of the post-Reformation Abbey.A comprehensive study of one of the most populous and influential towns in early modern England, this book covers the entire period from the Reformation to the Civil War. It will make fascinating reading for historians of English society, literature and religion in this period, as well as enthusiasts of London's rich history. 410 0$aPolitics, culture, and society in early modern Britain. 606 $aPolitics and culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPolitics and culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligion and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReligion and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aWestminster (London, England)$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aWestminster (London, England)$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aWestminster (London, England)$xSocial life and customs$y16th century 607 $aWestminster (London, England)$xSocial life and customs$y17th century 610 $aAbbey. 610 $aCourt. 610 $aHenry VIII's reign. 610 $aSt Margaret's parish. 610 $aSt Martin's parish. 610 $aadministrative structure. 610 $aaristocracy. 610 $acorporate life. 610 $aearly modern Westminster. 610 $alay piety. 610 $alocal society. 610 $aparish elites. 610 $aparish records. 610 $apost-Reformation town. 610 $areligious politics. 610 $areligious reformations. 610 $asocial identity. 610 $asocial organization. 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 676 $a942.13205 700 $aMerritt$b J.
