Exploring and visualising the power of early modern petitioning
This a website by Sharon Howard for exploring and visualising data created by and for the Power of Petitioning in the 17th Century (TPOP). Most pieces are likely to be quite short, with commentary focusing on explanation of the visuals rather than discussion of findings.
In the first instance, because I’m writing a case study on Cheshire petitioning, I’m primarily focusing on Cheshire petitions, followed by other Quarter Sessions petitions, and particularly on exploring themes that I want to think about in the study.
The second purpose of the website is to give me a place for slightly more thought-out and smartened-up versions of visualisations I’ve posted from time to time on Twitter (and keep losing track of!).
Explorations will also be expanded beyond my current focus on Quarter Sessions petitions… eventually. (When I’ve finished writing up the Cheshire case study!)
