This book revisits the county study as a way of understanding the
dynamics of civil war in England during the 1640s. It explores
gentry culture and the extent to which early Stuart Cheshire could
be said to be a 'county community'. It also investigates how the
county's governing elite and puritan religious establishment
responded to highly polarising interventions by the central
government and Laudian ecclesiastical authorities during Charles
I's Personal Rule. The second half of the book provides a rich and
detailed analysis of petitioning movements and side-taking in
Cheshire in 1641-2. An important contribution to understanding the
local origins and outbreak of civil war in England, the book will
be of interest to all students and scholars studying the English
revolution. -- .
