- Summary
- "Summoning the spirit of John Ball, Wat Tyler and the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, Ruth Ewan invited 200 teenagers from east London to take over The Savoy's Lancaster Ballroom for an ambitious event. Liberties of the Savoy addresses the social history of the historic Precinct of the Savoy: the immunity from prosecution wealthy debtors were offered there, and the opulence available to those who can afford to be a guest at the hotel today. Through a process of workshops, interviews and essays, young people respond to the demands of liberty through questions of injustice, class division, riots and race, in voices that resonate with the ancient call for freedom, common ownership and equality."--Page 4 of cover.
