Description:An inside and outside view of the power dynamics in northern European urban society.Negotiating the Political is a fascinating and wide-ranging collection of case studies on the creation of identity in late medieval and Renaissance urban society. At a time of far-reaching political, religious and social changes, towns were at the forefront of this transformation of European society, their citizens frequently engaged in the struggle for autonomy. When negotiating relationships with the Church, the Crown and within the town’s own competing constituencies, townsmen were able to manipulate factors such as time and space in their pursuit of honour, status, commemoration, reputation and power.The resulting town studies are arranged thematically–the view from the inside; the view from the outside–being set within contemporary cultural developments. Thus the collection highlights the differing strategies and approaches employed by towns, seeing such variation as indicative of the importance of the particular within the study of European urban society. The introductory discussion explores overarching themes and cross-cultural similarities, and Professor Caroline Barron provides a masterly concluding essay. This volume is an exciting development that sheds fresh light on the history of northern European urban communities.ContentsIntroduction / SHEILA SWEETINBURGHThe View from the Inside: Urban Politics, Power, and Identity‘Specyall lover and preferrer of the polytike and common weale’: John Smyth and Ideal Citizenship in Fifteenth-Century Bury St Edmunds / MARK MERRYRebuilding the City Centre / KARSTEN IGELDiscord in the Public Arena: Processes and Meanings of the St Bartholomew’s Day Festivities in Early Sixteenth-Century Sandwich / SHEILA SWEETINBURGHThe Skin of the Unjust Judge: ‘Negotiating the Political’ in Early Modern Canterbury / PAULA SIMPSON‘With the consent of the towne, and other skillfull marryners and gentlemen’: An Examination of Textual Negotiations in the Elizabethan Restoration of Dover Harbour 1582–1605 / CLAIRE BARTRAM AND MARY DIXONThe View from the Outside: Relations between Crown and TownCrown and Town in Later Medieval England: Bristol and National Politics, 1399 to 1486 / PETER FLEMINGBrokers in the Cities: The Connections between Princely Officers and Town Officials in Holland at the End of the Middle Ages (1480–1558) / SERGE TER BRAAKETown, Faith, and Power in Unquiet Times: Prague between the Hussite Pre-Reformation and the Habsburgs’ Rule (1436–1526) / FREDERIK FELSKAUAfterword: Negotiating the Political: The View from London / CAROLINE M.
