Summary |
Englishmen in the 16th & 17th centuries were bold and adventurous; a few risked the hazards of the sea and the dangers of land travel, but it would be a mistake to think the highways were thronged with such folk. Danger as well as horrible road conditions weren't the only thing that kept folks at home. The government actually discourage travel, especially for the gentry and nobility. Authorities felt if folk stayed in their own appropriate niches and performed the work alloted to them by birth, civil disorder could be kept at a minimun. |
