The Experience of Authority in Early Modern Britain

This workshop will explore the nature of authority, popular politics and protest in local society c.1500-1700. Subjects for papers might include: parish politics and local administration; legal rights and uses of the law; popular religious practice; domestic relations, gender and age. We are particularly interested in receiving proposals to speak from graduate students and junior academics. Papers should last no more than twenty minutes: further details available from the organisers. We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker will be Professor Steve Hindle (University of Warwick) and our respondent Dr Andy Wood (University of East Anglia).
