This is one of the classic texts of historical sociology and will be welcomed by all students of modern state formation. Corrigan and Sayer's illuminating analysis of the development of the English state from the eleventh to the late nineteenth centuries profoundly challenges conventional wisdoms, showing that state formation is cultural revolution, and moral regulation is fundamental to state power.
