Focusing on educational practices in 16th- and 17th-century England, this volume explores how deviant behaviors challenged existing cultural norms. Contributors analyze the interconnected processes of initiation, transmission, and transgression, highlighting how these practices questioned and reassessed traditional values. The chapters provide a nuanced understanding of the ways in which educational procedures were influenced by societal changes and the resistance to established norms during this transformative period.

This monograph explores the importance of weather and changing skies in early modern England while acknowledging the fact that traditional representations and religious beliefs still fashioned people's relations to meteorological phenomena.
