I haven't forgotten about the post on class I promised as a followup; I got sidetracked by something else, then by something else, and in the meantime started reading Christopher Hill's The World Turned Upside Down. I need to post with notes on that, too, but in the meantime it's informing my ideas about class a bit as well.

I've been away from LJ for half the week, and have been skim-reading to catch up; did I miss anything noteworthy in any of your lives?

Excellent book - I read it at school when I was writing my A-Level history extended essay on the tolerance (or otherwise) of non-conformist religious groups in the Interregnum. Hill's a little heavy on the left-wing politics, of course, and will often try to retroactively assign proto-Marxist ideology.

Mm, I've been keeping a salt shaker handy. I got it principally for perspective on the Dissenting religious movements of the time, though, and it's been really interesting for that.

For a moment there, I was thinking - that's a very complicated reason to have bought a salt shaker.
