The story of the reign of Charles I - told through the lives of his
people. Prize-winning historian David Cressy mines the widest range
of archival and printed sources, including ballads, sermons,
speeches, letters, diaries, petitions, proclamations, and the
proceedings of secular and ecclesiastical courts, to explore the
aspirations and expectations not only of the king and his
followers, but also the unruly energies of many of his subjects,
showing how royal authority was constituted, in peace and in war -
and how it began to fall apart. A blend of micro-historical
analysis and constitutional theory, parish politics and
ecclesiology, military, cultural, and social history, Charles I and
the People of England is the first major attempt to connect the
political, constitutional, and religious history of this crucial
period in English history with the experience and aspirations of
the rest of the population. From the king and his ministers to the
everyday dealings and opinions of parishioners, petitioners, and
taxpayers, David Cressy re-creates the broadest possible panorama
of early Stuart England, as it slipped from complacency to
revolution.
