This iconoclastic and satirical book provides a radical
reconstruction of the recent historiography of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. It creates an alliance between those
revisionist historians who have rewritten the received account of
the origins of the English Civil War and those historians who have
been rethinking the Hanoverian era. Revolution and Rebellion is
thus a companion volume to the author's English Society 1688-1832.
The book counters the Marxist interpretation of the 1640s and the
'English Revolution' by developing our new understanding of the
non-revolutionary nature of the world after 1660: it challenges the
appropriateness of 'revolution' as a description of events like
those of 1688, 1715, 1745, the American Revolution, the Industrial
Revolution or the Reform Bill, drawing attention instead to the
idea of 'rebellion'. This is the first book so to link English
history in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and it will be
required reading for students and teachers of both eras.
