Henry Neville and English Republican Culture in the Seventeenth
Century is the first full-length study of the republican Henry
Neville as country gentleman, politician, political thinker, rebel
and libeller. It traces the development of Neville's political
thought from the English Civil Wars to the Exclusion Crisis and
beyond, while also challenging the way in which the history of
ideas has been conceptualised in recent years by discussing
political theory alongside cheap libels, shams and poetry. While
studies of early modern English republicanism tend to focus on the
Interregnum, Neville's Plato redivivus, which promoted a
restructuring of the political order, was only published after the
1660 Restoration of the monarchy. This study therefore draws
attention to long-term continuities in English republican thought
and introduces the concept of anti-patriarchalism to focus on what
Neville and other republicans writing before 1649 or after 1660 had
in common. This book will be of interest to students and academics
of Early Modern studies -- .
