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. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1066-1485. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1485-1603. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1603-1649. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Populism $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Community life $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Collective memory $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Social change $z Great Britain $x History. 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724065537.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825053845.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20101214010718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10B5061E075011E0AC301FF46AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
