- Description:
- This thesis evaluates historiographical debates concerning the relationships between popular and elite culture and between youth and adult culture in early modern England through a close study of student culture at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and the Inns of Court after the Restoration. Of particular concern are adult attempts to impose contemporary notions of hierarchy and student attempts to criticize and subvert these notions through revelry and popular festivity. The Restoration period is the main focus, but events and ideas from the late sixteenth century through to the middle of the eighteenth century are canvassed to determine the extent to which attitudes and behaviour changed over the long term.
