Opis

This volume examines English central government and the royal court under King Charles II (1660-1685). The author focuses on the structure of government and its methods, as well as its policies, tasks, successes, and failures. A sequel to two earlier books by the same author, this study makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of later seventeenth-century history and the development of English government.
