Explores how the conscience in early modern England emerged as a fulcrum for public action. The book chronicles the shifting conception of conscience in early modern England, as it evolved from a faculty of restraint - what Shakespeare labels ‘coward conscience’ - to one of bold and forthright self-assertion.
