Opis

Revisionism has had a far-reaching impact upon the history of politics and religion in early Stuart Britain. These collected essays assess revisionism and address a series of themes arising out of recent debates on the causes of the English Civil War. Topics covered include the character of Charles I's kingship; the place of Parliament in the political system; the divisive legacy of the English Reformation; and the problems posed by trying to unite England with Scotland and Ireland.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: '… a beautiful piece of historical narrative … this volume not only acknowledges Conrad Russell's influence on those now working in early Stuart studies, it also demonstrates the continuing fecundity of early Stuart Britain as a field of historical research.' Royal Stuart Review
