Representation and Misrepresentation in Later Stuart Britain: Partisanship and Political Culture
ISBN: 9780199258338 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this original and illuminating study, Mark Knights reveals how the political culture of the eighteenth century grew out of earlier trends and innovations.

The Power of Laughter and Satire in Early Modern Britain: Political and Religious Culture, 1500-1820

Politics and Opinion in Crisis, 1678-81
ISBN: 9780521024396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The aftermath of the Popish Plot and the subsequent succession crisis of the years 1678 to 1681 are the context for this new study. It asks two key questions: was there an exclusion crisis? and did these years witness the birth of modern political parties? The author argues that the unrest was not simply due to a centrally organized party machine based around the single issue of exclusion; but was a broad-based controversy about the succession, fears of popery and arbitrary government which produced ideological polarization and political sophistication. Part One examines central politics to...
