This book asks how and why a small island people became the nucleus of an empire 'on which the sun never set.' David Rollison argues that the 'English explosion' was the outcome of a long social revolution with roots deep in the medieval past. A succession of crises from the Norman Conquest to the English Revolution were causal links and chains of collective memory in a unique, vernacular, populist movement. The keyword of this long revolution, 'commonwealth,' has been largely invisible in traditional constitutional history. This panoramic synthesis of political, intellectual, social, cultural, religious, economic, literary, and linguistic movements offers a 'new constitutional history' in which state institutions and power elites were subordinate and answerable to a greater community that the early modern English called 'commonwealth' and we call 'society'" -- Provided by publisher. 000348705 650_0 $$aPolitical culture$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 650_0 $$aPopulism$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 650_0 $$aCommunity life$$xPolitical aspects$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 650_0 $$aCollective memory$$xPolitical aspects$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 650_0 $$aSocial change$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000348705 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y1066-1485. 000348705 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y1485-1603. 000348705 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y1603-1649. 000348705 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xSocial conditions. 000348705 85200 $$bgen$$hDA176$$i.R65$$i2010 000348705 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/53736/cover/9780521853736.jpg 000348705 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:348705$$pGLOBAL_SET 000348705 980__ $$aBIB 000348705 980__ $$aBOOK
