My project, supervised by Beat Kümin and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, looks at English urban society in the era of transition between the medieval and early modern periods. The thesis engages with a wide range of historical themes: local communities, social networks, identities, oligarchy, marginalised groups, lord–tenant relations, monasticism, popular religion, and the Reformation.
