This volume provides a detailed book-length study of the period of
the Protectorate Parliaments from September 1654 to April 1659. The
study is very broad in its scope, covering topics as diverse as the
British and Irish dimensions of the Protectorate Parliaments, the
political and social nature of factions, problems of management,
the legal and judicial aspects of Parliament's functions, foreign
policy and the nature of the parliamentary franchise and elections
in this period. In its wide-ranging analysis of Parliaments and
politics throughout the Protectorate the book also examines both
Lord Protectors, all three Protectorate Parliaments and the reasons
why Oliver and Richard Cromwell were never able to achieve a stable
working relationship with any Parliament. Its chronological
coverage extends to the demise of the Third Protectorate Parliament
in April 1659. This comprehensive account will appeal to historians
of early modern British political history.
