The Union of the Crowns of England and Scotland in 1603
dramatically changed the nature and level of interaction between
the constituent parts of the British Isles, and over the course of
the century that followed the seismic shocks of constitutional
revolutions and civil wars were felt in each one of thee very
different kingdoms that had been forced together under one king.
The chapters in this volume, each written by a leading scholar of
the period, analyze in turn the response to the Union of 1603, the
religious controversies under the early Stuarts, the Civil War,
Commonwealth, and Restoration periods, and the social and economic
context within which these developments took place. The final
chapter then looks at the vibrant cultural interaction between the
kingdoms of the British Isles in the seventeenth century, which
stands in sharp contrast to the political, religious, and social
doubts and fears that permeated the period. Throughout, the book
maintains a careful balance, focusing on the ways in which the
various tensions within each individual kingdom came together,
whilst at the same time looking beyond the confines of any one of
the kingdoms and recognizing their interlinking "British" impact.
