This is an exciting collection of essays on the rule of Charles
I at a time of fundamental importance to English history. It
combines the work of historians with academics from literary
studies to provide an interdisciplinary examination of the culture
and political life of the decade. The chapters focus on issues in
politics, religion, the monarchy and culture, as well as literature
and art history. Essays examine everything from the King's
correspondence to the role of consort queens at court and
opposition to the King in libel, satire and on the stage.Many
historians assert that it was Charles's inept and dangerous policy
of 'personal rule' which was responsible for putting the country on
the road to civil war. This book will be invaluable for students
and lecturers seeking to better understand the causes of the
conflict.
