Manning. It’s an interesting account of late medieval and early modern English riots and revolts in agricultural and forest provinces. Riots were most present in times of dearth, and folks furthest from the city centers were thought of as especially dangerous and liable to rise up against enclosures and other forms of gentry control. It’s an interesting read, but I’d wish he would go into other forms of popular protest. I know riot were not the only form of resistance, though they were the most dramatic and certainly capture the historian’s imagination.
