Summary:

This volume investigates the reasons for and consequences of the wide-scale changes to the nature of local government in early modern England: a shift from 'open' to 'closed' management of a host of problems - from the representation of authority itself to treatment of every kind of local disorder, from petty crime and poverty to dirty streets.
