When, one place, in some sense, History diverged, V.-like (maybe)

[Mark Kohut]

In my Shakespeare self-education, there is this to know:
Holinshed's Chronicles, the famous compilation of English history, editions
in 1577, then revised 10 years later. The popular best-selling history of its 
time......
which Shakespeare read to get the facts for many of his plays....

A Ms. Patterson in "Reading Holinshead's Chronicles" [a reevaluation] sez 
first, that they [it was a compilation given one man's name] did write about
the dispossessed, the poor, the landless,-- [the preterites]-- which was so 
little done in any histories then.

But second and most for my post: Quotes Holinshed on 'indifferent and necessary' 
laws and ways 
of judging, linking this to the objective [indifferent] common law [say 
1400-1550, latter years especially] and its 'justice as fairness' basis
for a society which she then says LOST OUT to the enshrinement of 'possessive 
individualism' as the 
leading idea to hold a polity together articualated and instantiated by Hobbes 
and Locke [and we know how TRP has savaged
at least one of them].............

Her phrase 'justice as fairness' she sez was meant to invoke Rawls the political 
theorist--as does 'indifferent'
[objective] judging which was in one sense Rawls way of defining how people 
should treat each other in a society---
behind a veil of indifference, so to speak, speaking of allocation of laws and 
of justice....

>From common-- natural, chaotic, one might say 'anarchic'--- togetherness toward 
'possessive individualism......
could be the boring title of a paper on Inherent Vice, yes?

And that V. as in diVergence?....
