"The social historian is here given a wealth of entirely new material on the Elizabethan permissive society, a subject obviously of interest also in the general reader. But while moral offences half fill the book, this is a serious, not sensational, account of the business of the Archdeacons' Courts (popularly known as the 'Bawdy Courts'). It includes absence from church, conventicles [illegal meetings for worship by dissenters], usury, licensing of school-teachers, dilapidated churches, plate and bells, as well as the Church Settlement and Visitations. Having read the 100,000 entries in the Elizabethan court books of the two Essex Archdeaconries--among the most complete series in England--Dr. Emmison has provided the quintessence in an eminently readable form" [from the dust jacket].
