In an England inhabited by Pepys, Evelyn, Dryden, Hobbes and the
young Isaac Newton, Charles II is king, and the nation is beginning
to relax a little after the tough, joyless years of Cromwell's
Protectorate. In RESTORATION, Alex Larman paints a fascinating
portrait of a country in the throes of social, political and
cultural change following the convulsions of the Interregnum.
Exploring every level of English society, from innkeepers and
upholsterers to lawyers and courtiers, and examining themes as
diverse as marriage, sexuality and religion, he creates a
pointilliste and multi-faceted portrait of Restoration England. By
looking at the year 1666 through the eyes of the people of the
time, by revealing what they ate and drank, how they loved, lived
and died and how they interacted, Alex Larman brings alive the
England of 300 years ago as you have never seen it before:
exciting, tangible, and fully comprehensible.
