Book Synopsis Gun Culture in Early Modern England by : Lois G. Schwoerer
Download or read book Gun Culture in Early Modern England written by Lois G. Schwoerer and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guns had an enormous impact on the social, economic, cultural, and political lives of civilian men, women, and children of all social strata in early modern England. In this study, Lois Schwoerer identifies and analyzes England’s domestic gun culture from 1500 to 1740, uncovering how guns became available, what effects they had on society, and how different sectors of the population contributed to gun culture. The rise of guns made for recreational use followed the development of a robust gun industry intended by King Henry VIII to produce artillery and handguns for war. Located first in London, the gun industry brought the city new sounds, smells, street names, shops, sights, and communities of gun workers, many of whom were immigrants. Elite men used guns for hunting, target shooting, and protection. They collected beautifully decorated guns, gave them as gifts, and included them in portraits and coats-of-arms, regarding firearms as a mark of status, power, and sophistication. With statutes and proclamations, the government legally denied firearms to subjects with an annual income under £100—about 98 percent of the population—whose reactions ranged from grudging acceptance to willful disobedience. Schwoerer shows how this domestic gun culture influenced England’s Bill of Rights in 1689, a document often cited to support the claim that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution conveys the right to have arms as an Anglo-American legacy. Schwoerer shows that the Bill of Rights did not grant a universal right to have arms, but rather a right restricted by religion, law, and economic standing, terms that reflected the nation's gun culture. Examining everything from gunmakers’ records to wills, and from period portraits to toy guns, Gun Culture in Early Modern England offers new data and fresh insights on the place of the gun in English society.

Book excerpt: "This book, published by a British publisher, was written by authors from the Netherlands and from the United States. It is about drawings made, probably by a Netherlander, to illustrate a period of developing specialist technology in a British institution, the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. The impetus to this period of activity was the importing by the British government of two technologists from the Netherlands, which move carried on an established tradition of employing foreign experts in this field. These technologists, the Verbruggens, under the industrial impetus of the War of the American Revolution, raised the standards of brass gunfounding to new heights. They allied their own proven high standards of workmanship to a greatly increased demand and in the Royal Brass Foundry in the Royal Arsenal--the building illustrated--achieved new levels of efficiency and excellence."--Foreword, page 7.
