Reading Plague in Seventeenth-century London
Interest in plague and mortality in seventeenth-century London was fed by the weekly and yearly Bills of Mortality, and by the composite or commemorative plague bills issued in epidemic years. Some surviving examples are annotated, suggesting keen engagement with the content. This article identifies one such annotator as the city law-officer and bibliophile, Richard Smyth (1590–1675), and sets this identification in the context of Smyth’s persona…
Monastic Records and the Dissolution
Administrative reform in the 1530s amounted, in Professor Geoffrey Elton’s words, to a ‘Tudor revolution in government’. The Dissolution of the monasteries and the confiscation of their assets played a major part in this. The need to value, survey, document and exploit the monastic estates transformed government record-keeping, necessitating the creation of new offices – such as the Court of Augmentations – and the adoption of new practices and a…
Recent Perspectives on Early Modern London
Recent writing on early modern London offers new perspectives on a wide range of topics. Interest in the literary and cultural is particularly strong, and much attention has been given to John Stow, London's sixteenth-century historian. This review discusses recent work on three themes prominent in Stow's Survey of London (1598), and its later editions: the character of religious life in post-Reformation London; the importance of place and space …
Introduction
Music – as many of the contributors to this special issue of Urban History point out – is an important component of the urban experience and can play a significant role in the construction of a civic identity, and yet it is a topic that urban historians have tended to overlook. There are some parallels with the case of the fine arts, to which a special issue of this journal was devoted in 1995, both in the causes for this neglect – which similarl…
Space, Property, and Propriety in Urban England
The public space in medieval towns and cities was shaped and influenced by the private spaces that surrounded it. The private was, like the public, a complex domain; many interests coexisted there. The pressures of population gowth and commercial development fragmented individual holdings and created overlapping layers of claims to particular spaces. Neighbors' interests also impinged; the enjoyment of the private was far from exclusive. Elaborat…
Memento mori
Parmi toutes les peurs qui effrayaient les habitants de Londres à l’époque moderne, celle de la mort était une des plus constantes. La mortalité était élevée, les enterrements fréquents et les rappels de la mort permanents. Cependant les attitudes des Londoniens face à la mort variaient: certains, comme Nehemiah Wallington, reconnaissaient qu’ils en avaient peur et essayaient de s’y préparer spirituellement. Beaucoup d’autres, comme Samuel Pepys,…
Diversity and Success in the Medieval City
London Bridge
The rulers of London in the late middle ages sought to safeguard the future of their important river crossing by placing its administration in the hands of a specially created institution. By the mid-fourteenth century the Bridge House, as it became known, had been endowed with a large portfolio of properties which provided the bulk of the revenue needed for the frequent, and often urgent, repairs to London Bridge's structure: as many as 130 shop…

Everyday Life in Medieval England
Communicating London's early history
In an age of ‘performance indicators’, how does society measure museums′ presentation of history, and does this affect the manner in which history is communicated? The internal conflicts between presenting history and preserving research integrity are the context for this review of recent curatorial and archæological work in London
