While the formal structures of town government were profoundly undemocratic - vacancies on corporations were most often filled by co-option - there was much participation, consultation, and negotiation in the lower levels of government. In addition, corporation members lived in close proximity to, and did business with, their fellow townspeople, and needed to meet their expectations. These expectations might have been modest - they wanted streets to be reasonably clean and kept in adequate repair, sewage and rubbish to be removed, law and order maintained, and the deserving poor relieved. But they were the things that made daily life tolerable, and for many they mattered more than politics.
The religious and political history of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England is typically written in terms of conflict and division. Corrupt, drunken, and sometimes very violent elections indicated how party conflict - exacerbated by religious division - had become a normal part of English life. But strife was not universal - in many towns, despite occasional disorder, government rarely broke down. Focusing on these provincial towns Professor Miller reveals that, although town government was not at all democratic, there was participation, consultation, and negotiation. Members lived in close proximity to, and did business with, their fellow townspeople. Any violence ended with bruises rather than fatalities.
