How and why do stereotypes continue affect public life and shape individual experience? This book tackles this question through case studies drawn from early modern England, a society shaken by divisive identity politics and increasingly commercial media. The book ends by exploring implications these case studies for the twenty-first century. -- .
Early modern stereotypes used to be studied as evidence of popular belief, something mired with prejudices and commonly held assumptions. Stereotypes and stereotyping in early modern England goes beyond this view by exploring practices of stereotyping as contested processes. To do so, the volume draws on recent works on social psychology and sociology. It thereby brings together early modern case studies and explores how stereotypes and their mobilisation shaped various negotiations of power, in spheres of life such as politics, religion, economy and knowledge production. -- .
