  • Morals, Rituals, and Gender: Aspects of Social Relations in the Diocese of Norwich, 1660 - 1703
    MORALS, RITUALS, AND GENDER: ASPECTS OF SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE DIOCESE OF NORWICH, 1660 - 1703 Dave Peacock Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy To the University of York History Department December 1996 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the question of whether the late seventeenth-century "middling sort" were the passive recipients of 'government" and "civility", or, whether they were active participants, and pivotal agents, of the construction of post-Restoration English society. This conundrum raises three further issues: first, who were the middling sort; second, what constitutes "politics"; and third, how did the "middling sort" adapt the concept of "civility" to their own preoccupations and aspirations? This thesis uses evidence of social relationships drawn from the depositions of the Norwich consistory court, which is relevant for two reasons: first, it reveals the "middling sort" and demonstrates their concern with personal reputation; second, it exposes the requirements of "civility" they demanded of each other. We also investigate the precepts of social behaviour offered by conduct books. Thus, we are able to examine the intellectual context in which the conflicts over reputation occurred. We argue that precept provided a discursive resource which defamers utilised to redirect perceptions of a person's reputation. Victims of defamation responded with appeals to their neighbours to uphold their inclusion within a "moral community". Thus, we argue, defamation causes were a negotiation of social identity as respected, autonomous citizens, with all the privileges and obligations that status entailed. Accordingly, we must redefine our concept of "politics", for the practice of defamation demonstrates how political activity extended throughout the social milieu: to gain a bad reputation was to lose authority and influence upon neighbourhood affairs, and destroyed political ambitions.
