The tension between public duty and private conscience is a central
theme of English history in the seventeenth century, when
established authorities were questioned and violently disrupted. It
has also been an important theme in the work of one of the foremost
historians of the period, G. E. Aylmer. It makes, therefore, an
especially appropriate subject for this volume. The contributors
are leading historians, whose topics range from contemporary
writings on conscience and duty to the particular problems faced by
individuals and groups, both Puritan and Royalist, at the centre
and in the localities. These scholarly and original studies throw
new light on the innumerable dilemmas of conscience of
seventeenth-century men and women, and together make a
distinguished contribution to seventeenth-century history.
Contributors: Christopher Hill, Gordon Leff, Austin Wollrych, Keith
Thomas, Patricia Crawford, Kevin Sharpe, Conrad Russell, Neil
Cuddy, Paul Slack, John Morrill, Claire Cross, P. R. Newman, Daniel
Woolf, John Ferris, Richard S. Dunn, and William Sheils.
