Liberty against the Law
A classic study of popular resistance to the momentous changes of 17th century EnglandIn 17th Century England, the law was not an instrument of justice - it was an instrument of oppression. As well as chapters on gypsies and vagabonds, Hill analyses class, religion and the shift away from the importance of the church after the Reformation. The enclosures of common land, loss of many traditional rights and draconian punishments for minor transgressions changed the lives of the peasantry and created a landless class of wage labourers.In this, the last book published during his lifetime, renowned historian of the English Revolution Christopher Hill explores the immense social changes that occurred and the expressions of liberty against the law through the literary culture of the times and the hero-worship of the outlaw.
Liberty Against the Law is a late classic of Hill's
