Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This engaging insight into 17th-century English society follows two Manchester constables as they chronicle the day-to-day running of the town, from collecting taxes to maintaining law and order. Their accounts provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary people, from vagrant beggars and unfortunate orphans to professional soldiers and well-heeled gentry. Set against a backdrop of plague and economic hardship, with the echoes of the Civil War still lingering, the text reveals the practicalities of running a small town in turbulent times. We learn of the problems caused by itinerant Irish labourers, the difficulties of providing for the poor and the ever-present threat of marauding soldiers. The constables' meticulous accounting of their spending reveals the harsh treatment meted out to vagrants and petty criminals, including public whippings and enforced labour. At the same time, the pages are filled with acts of extraordinary kindness to the needy and vulnerable, especially orphans and the disabled, revealing the compassionate nature at the heart of this close-knit community. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333834135_0
