God's Instruments: Political Conduct in the England of Oliver Cromwell
ISBN: 9780199675418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 421 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Puritan Revolution escaped the control of its creators. The parliamentarians who went to war with Charles I in 1642 did not want or expect the fundamental changes that would follow seven years later: the trial and execution of the king, the abolition of the House of Lords, and the creation of the only republic in English history. There were startling and unexpected developments, too, in religion and ideas: the spread of unorthodox doctrines; the attainment of a wide measure of liberty of conscience; and new thinking about the moral and intellectual bases of politics and society....

The English Civil Wars: 1640-1660
ISBN: 9780753826911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an acclaimed historian.
The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule. In this wonderfully readable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins - the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I,...

The Rump Parliament 1648-53
ISBN: 9780521292139 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Rump Parliament was brought to power in 1648 by Pride's Purge and forcibly dissolved by Oliver Cromwell in 1653. This book is a detailed account of the intervening years. Dr Worden concentrates particularly on the Rump's policies in the contentious fields of legal, religious and electoral reform; its attempts to live down its revolutionary origins, to disown its more radical supporters, to conciliate those Puritans alienated by the purge and the King's death, and to re-create the Roundhead party of the 1640s. He examines the Rump's struggles for survival in the face of the Royalist threat...

The Sound of Virtue: Philip Sidney's 'Arcadia' and Elizabethan Politics
ISBN: 9780300209655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Written around 1580, Philip Sidney's 'Arcadia' is a romance, a love story, a work of wit and enchantment set in an ancient and mythical land. But, as Blair Worden now startlingly reveals, it is also a grave and urgent commentary on Elizabethan politics. Under the protective guise of pastoral fiction, Sidney produced a searching reflection on the misgovernment of Elizabeth I and on the failings of monarchy as a system of government. Blair Worden reconstructs the dramatic events admidst which the 'Arcadia' was composed and shows for the first time how profound is their presence in it. The...
