描述
This book explores and exemplifies some of the subtler links between opinion, governance and law in early modern England by investigating moral panics. Modern media-driven 'law and order' panics may have originated in eighteenth-century England, with the development of the press and government sensibility to opinion, but there were earlier panics about witchcraft and popery. Essays by an experienced team of scholars discuss broadly episodes of moral panic before and after 1689, and consider their implications for changes in governance.
Review 'This wide-ranging yet thematically cohesive collection succeeds not only in showcasing the talents of some of the leading historians of early modern England, but in raising fascinating questions about the relationship between the law, the press and elite and popular opinion and mentalities.' - English Historical Review 'There is a great deal to admire in this volume, which brings together a particulalry accomplished and distinguished set of contributors, and has much to say about the complex and shifting relations between authority, information and opinion.' - Peter Marshall, History

An exploration of links between opinion and governance in Early Modern England, studying moral panics about crime, sex and belief. Hypothesizing that media-driven panics proliferated in the 1700s, with the development of newspapers and government sensibility to opinion, it also considers earlier panics about cross-dressing and witchcraft. A fascinating study of moral panics about religion, women, witchcraft, revolution, crime, and corruption, ranging from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth, Moral Panics, the Media and the Law in Early Modern England considers whether media-driven 'law and order' panics proliferated after 1700, with the development of the newspaper press and heightened sensibility to crime and the anonymity of London, as well as the availability of legislative solutions from regular law-producing parliaments. Together the essays reveal the importance of opinion as an influence on government throughout the period, but they also nuance our understanding of the public sphere. Whereas sixteenth and early seventeenth-century panics imply a political culture where involving the people in affairs of state was exceptional, by the mid-eighteenth century media-savvy governments routinely sought to manipulate public opinion to legitimize their rule. Moreover, the popular discourses informing moral panics shifted from a fundamentalist religious mindset of heaven against hell to concerns about social problems such as crime and the corrupting effects of commerce. By 1800 the reading public was clearly much less deferential and more demanding of government: and the rule of law depended on extended public discussion, even though much of it took the form of sensationalist reporting and panic
