Adversity and Ritual in 17th-Century London

This event has finished Took place on: Thursday, 25th Mar 2021

 Free

Dr Margarette Lincoln, historian and Curator Emeritus, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich

The seventeenth century was the most turbulent period in London’s history. The plague and Great Fire are well known, but what other disasters and seminal reversals did Londoners face? What coping mechanisms were available? And in what ways did successive challenges impact on the built environment?

Londoners in this period generally proved themselves to be adaptable, resilient, and innovative, if elements were also brazenly delinquent and riotous. This talk by historian Dr Margarette Lincoln, whose latest book, London and the Seventeenth Century: The Making of the World’s Greatest City, has just been published by Yale University Press, will explore the issues facing the City of London in this century of rapid transition and consider the social structures and practices that helped tonmitigate the impact of domestic disaster.
