About This Book
A series of episodic scenes set during a monarch's final years traces how local communities, schools and families confront royal demands and reforms. Conflicts center on the recruitment of educated youths for state service and the church's efforts to preserve vernacular instruction, while market life, coastal voyages and northern journeys provide a backdrop of everyday activity. Encounters with itinerant visitors, moral authorities and punitive measures illustrate tensions between central power and regional habits. Intimate portraits of domestic relationships and youthful courtships are woven with accounts of resistance and social change, offering a textured view of ordinary people under political pressure.
