- Revolutionizing the study of England by integrating urban society into a narrative previously dominated by kings and aristocrats, the monograph eschews a case-study-based approach and instead creates a model inspired by a 1930s central-place theory and social network analysis formulated by Walter Christaller that assesses the influence exerted by the 'urban sector'. Based on an Oxford DPhil, jointly funded by the Clarendon Society, Merton College and a Bryce research studentship, and using records from 22 town archives, the book also demonstrates how fluctuations in the strength of communication networks and rhetoric between towns affected the pace of the civil wars.
