This is an account of English politics in the 1660s, the years
immediately following the Restoration of Charles II, after the
Civil Wars and Interregnum in the course of which the monarchy had
been abolished and Charles I executed. It is the first detailed
study of Westminster politics in the 1660s for over twenty years,
and the first ever in-depth study of the legislation of the 1660s.
Dr Seaward shows how these drastic and dramatic events had changed
perceptions and attitudes in British politics. He analyses the
policies followed by the Restoration government (and in particular
those of Charles II's chief minister, Clarendon) in attempting to
restore royal power, and the effect of the Civil Wars' legacy of
partisan bitterness on relations between government and parliament.
The book also describes the breakdown in those relations, which
occurred in 1666-7 and during the earlier crisis in 1663, and
attempts to discover why relations were soured so quickly after the
euphoria of the Restoration in 1660.
