Originally published in 1984, this was the first detailed study of
the impact of Puritan influences on the wealthy county families of
early Stuart England. It discusses one of the central issues in the
history of the English Civil War: what motivated those men and
women who risked all in opposition to King Charles I. The book
looks at the role played by gentry families in the advancement or
defence of 'true religion', and considers the reasons why powerful
families which helped to govern the counties were to be found among
the godly. It explores the conflict between class values and the
exacting demands of an austere religious philosophy and examines
the relationship between the Puritan gentry and the clerical
Puritans who included authors, university dons, schoolmasters,
lecturers and parish clergy.
