Early modern Kent, with emphasis on changes in government from
private patronage to a broader commercial and professional power
base. This volume, the seventh in the Kent History Project,
complements those already published on The Economy of Kent and
Religion and Society in Kent between 1640 and 1914. The volume
begins with an important new assessment of the impact of the Civil
Wars and Interregnum in Kent, which challenges some of the
interpretations of previous studies of this period of Kent's
history. The major thrust of the volume is however the
transformation of Kent'sgovernment from a system controlled by a
small number of landed families into one in which, on the eve of
the First World War, a much broader range of people from the
commercial, industrial and professional classes was involved.There
are also detailed studies of political radicalism in Kent between
the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries and of the impact
of crime and the maintenance of public order. The text is supported
by appropriate maps, tables and contemporary illustrations.
