This book explores the measures taken by the newly re-installed
monarchy and its supporters to address the drastic events of the
previous two decades. Profoundly preoccupied with - and, indeed,
anxious about - the uses and representations of the nation's recent
troubled past, the returning royalist regime heavily relied upon
the dissemination, in popular print, of prescribed varieties of
remembering and forgetting in order to actively shape the manner in
which the Civil Wars, the Regicide, and the Interregnum were to be
embedded in the nation's collective memory. This study rests on a
broad foundation of documentary evidence drawn from hundreds of
widely distributed and affordable pamphlets and broadsheets that
were intended to shape popular memories, and interpretations, of
recent events. It thus makes a substantial original contribution to
the fields of early modern memory studies and the history of the
English Civil Wars and early Restoration.
