The aftermath of the Popish Plot and the subsequent succession
crisis of the years 1678 to 1681 are the context for this new
study. It asks two key questions: was there an exclusion crisis?
and did these years witness the birth of modern political parties?
The author argues that the unrest was not simply due to a centrally
organized party machine based around the single issue of exclusion;
but was a broad-based controversy about the succession, fears of
popery and arbitrary government which produced ideological
polarization and political sophistication. Part One examines
central politics to explore the succession crisis within the
context of the court and an emergent political structure. Part Two
explores public opinion in the country as a whole, and argues that
propaganda electioneering, religious conflict and petitions
committed men to organized networks of belief.
