The transformation of London from a medieval commune to a bustling metropolis is intricately explored through its literature and culture from 1475 to 1675. The book examines how various literary forms, including plays, ballads, and sermons, reflect and influence the city's evolving identity as a major European trading hub. Lawrence Manley analyzes the interplay between literature and the rise of capitalism, social order, and individual liberation, highlighting the profound impact of urbanization on cultural expression during this dynamic period.
