Social Conflict in early Stuart England
Eight lectures given by PETER LASLETT, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge at the University of Warwick
3; The Elite Minority
In early Stuart England only about one in twenty of the population had any political significance. In his third lecture Mr. Laslett describes the structure and characteristics of this ruling segment of society, and asks what, in this part of the model, could lead to conflict-and even revolution.
