Context:
Referenced as a 'brilliant book' about the Peasants' Revolt. The hosts discuss how Barker calls it 'the Great Revolt' rather than the Peasants' Revolt, and quote her view that the rebels sought 'a radical political agenda, which if it had been implemented would have fundamentally transformed English society.' Also cited later for the example of Lake and Heath manor in Suffolk.
