Jacob Selwood

Diversity and Difference in Early Modern London

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Although we know much about the population of the capital of early modern England, we know little about how Londoners conceived of the many peoples of their own city. This book seeks to rectify this, addressing the question of how the inhabitants of the metropolis ordered the heterogeneity around them.
