Focusing on the crisis of transition marked by the English
Revolution (1640-60), this collection of essays also places it in
the context of a long seventeenth century. Leading experts in the
field explore this theme with special reference to developments in
politics, religion and society, at both national and local levels.
The volume breaks decisively with recent historiography, in
emphasising both the long-term nature and revolutionary
implications of the seventeenth-century events in question.
Features of the crisis include the growing challenge to the
confessional state from within the ranks of Protestantism itself
and the enlargement of the public sphere of politics, fuelled
increasingly by the role of print, along with the painful emergence
of a new style parliamentary monarchy and associated
fiscal-military apparatus. The explosive role of religion
especially is highlighted, in chapters ranging from the popularity
politics engaged in under Elizabeth I to the escalating party
strife of Charles II's reign and beyond. At the same time the
epicentre of the revolution is firmly located in the two tumultuous
decades of civil war and interregnum. The volume will be essential
reading for both students and teachers working on this period. -- .
