Clarendon Reconsidered reassesses a figure of major importance in
seventeenth-century British politics, constitutional history and
literature. Despite his influence in these and other fields, Edward
Hyde, first Earl of Clarendon (1609-1674) remains comparatively
neglected. However, the recent surge of interest in royalists and
royalism, and the new theoretical strategies it has employed, make
this a propitious moment to re-examine his influencecontribution.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Chancellor and author of the
History of the Rebellion (1702-1704), then and for long afterwards
the most sophisticated history written in English, his long career
in the service of the Caroline court spanned the English Revolution
and Restoration. The original essays in this interdisciplinary
collection shine a torch on key aspects of Clarendon's life and
works: his role as a political propagandist, his family and
friendship networks, his religious and philosophical inclinations,
his history- and essay-writing, his influence on other forms of
writing, and the personal, political and literary repercussions of
his two long exiles. Pushing the boundaries of the new royalist
scholarship, this fresh account of Clarendon reveals a multifaceted
man who challenges as often as he justifies traditional
characterisations of detached historian and secular statesman.
