This key Seminar Study was first published as Restoration England:
The Reign of Charles II in 1985. Unavailable for several years, the
book has now been heavily revised, and expanded, to take account of
over ten years of new scholarship. In particular, the Second
Edition reflects new work done on political parties, the
constitution, taxation, the church, and the legacy of the civil
wars. As ever primary documents illustrate points raised in the
text and an extensive bibliography directs readers to further
reading. New for this edition is a chronology of the main events in
Charles II's reign which, given the thematic treatment of the
reign, readers are likely to find particularly useful. When Charles
II was restored to the throne in 1660 the event was widely greeted
as a return to normal after the upheavals of civil war. In this
short study Professor John Miller explores how far this was true
and how far the civil wars had, in fact, weakened (or strengthened)
the monarchy. The book divides neatly into two: in the first part
the 'Restoration Settlement' of 1660-4 is examined in detail; and,
in the second, the salient features of government, politics and
religion under Charles II are considered, seeking to show how well
the restored regime worked in practice. Throughout, complex issues
of change over time are explained as clearly and concisely as
possible and the Restoration is placed in the wider context of the
development of England in the seventeenth century.
