This interdisciplinary 1996 collection examines the multiple ties
that connected the Stuart court to Europe, and the ways in which
these shaped English politics and political culture. Together, the
essays demonstrate that even the domestic history of the period can
only be understood fully by taking into account the international
horizons, concerns and affiliations of the British ruling elite.
The opening essays by Jonathan Scott develop a provocative overview
of the whole period. The remaining contributions examine topics
such as the European roots of common law thought; the nature of
national identity; the use of visual display in conveying the
grandeur of kingship; the religion of Charles II; and the role of
Charles's French mistress, the duchess of Portsmouth, in English
and international politics. A concluding chapter by Geoffrey Parker
suggests several new avenues for placing the British Isles within a
European perspective.
