Originally published as part of "The Oxford Illustrated History of
Britain", John Morrill's description of Stuart Britain sets the
Revolution into its political, religious, social, economic,
intellectual and cultural contexts. It thus seeks to integrate what
most other surveys pull apart. It gives a graphic account of the
effects of a century-long period during which population was
growing inexorably and faster than both the food supply and the
employment market. It looks at the failed attempts of successive
governments to make all those under their authority obedient
members of a unified national church; it looks at how Charles I
blundered into a civil war which then took on a terrifying momentum
of its own. The result was his trial and execution, the abolition
of the monarchy, the House of Lords, the bishops, the Prayer Book
and the celebration of Christmas. As a result everything else that
people took for granted came up for challenge, and this book shows
how painfully and with what difficulty order and obedience was
restored. The text is intended for the general reader or students
of the Stuart period of British history.
