Summary: "Town Life in the Fifteenth Century, Volume 2" by Alice Stopford Green is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the socio-economic conditions, customs, and governance of English towns during the 15th century. It examines the roles of various classes, particularly the prosperous middle class of traders and craftsmen, and how their rise transformed societal norms and local governance, setting the stage for modern England. The opening of the book discusses the complex interplay between the towns' internal structures and their external relations with the monarchy and church. It highlights how the English boroughs maintained their independence through political activism and the establishment of civic identities. The narrative introduces how emerging middle-class merchants were increasingly willing to engage in civic matters, shaped by new social standards and a growing demand for self-regulation. Through this examination, we gain insights into communal life, the economy, and the burgeoning sense of individual merit over traditional hierarchies, laying the foundation for future societal transformations.
