Introduction: law and order, moral panics, and early modern England / David Lemmings -- The concept of the moral panic: an historico-sociological positioning/ David Rowe -- 'This newe army of satan': the Jesuit mission and the formation of public opinion in Elizabethan England / Alexandra Walsham -- Cross-dressing and pamphleteering in early seventeenth-century London/ Anna Bayman -- Fearmade flesh: the English witch-panic of 1645-7 / Malcolm Gaskill -- 'A sainct in shewe, a devill in deede': moral panics and anti-Puritanism in seventeenth-century England/ Tim Harris -- 'Remember Justice Godfrey': the popish plot and the construction of panic in seventeenth-century media / Claire Walker -- The dark side of Enlightenment: the London Journal, moral panics, and the law in the eighteenth century/ David Lemmings -- Forgers and forgery: severity and social identity in eighteenth-century England / Randall McGowen -- 'How frail are lovers vows, and dicers oaths': gaming, governing and moral panic in Britain, 1781-1782/ Donna T. Andrew -- A moral panic in eighteenth-century London? The 'monster' and the press / Cindy McCreery -- The British Jacobins: folk devils in the age of counter-revolution?/ Michael T. Davis -- Conclusion: moral panics, law and the transformation of thepublic sphere in early modern England / David Lemmings.

A fascinating study of moral panics about religion, women, witchcraft, revolution, crime, andcorruption, ranging from the late seventeenthcentury to the end of the eighteenth, Moral Panics, the Media and the Law in Early Modern England considers whether media-driven 'law and order' panics proliferated after 1700, with the development of the newspaper press and heightened sensibility to crime and the anonymity of London, as well as the availability of legislative solutions from regular law-producing parliaments. Together the essays reveal the importance of opinion as an influence on government throughout the period, but they also nuance our understanding of the public sphere. Whereas sixteenth andearly seventeenth-century panics imply a political culture where involving the people in affairs of state was exceptional, by the mid-eighteenth century media-savvy governments routinely sought to manipulate public opinion to legitimize their rule. Moreover, the popular discourses informing moral panics shifted from a fundamentalist religious mindset of heaven against hell to concernsabout social problems such as crime and the corrupting effects of commerce. By 1800 the reading public was clearly much less deferential and more demanding of government: and the rule of law dependedon extended public discussion, even though much ofit took the form of sensationalist reporting and panic.
