The 1670s were the heyday of Restoration England - a period of
experimentation, politicization, and strife. This decade was a
crucial period in England's history, yet surprisingly little has
been written about it. This book - the first full-length study of
the period - fills this gap in the literature by exploring the
richness and complexity of the decade, and by challenging existing
assumptions about it.
For those new to the period this book contains the full story of
politics, war, and religion, as well as a clear account of the
popish plot and exclusion crises. More than this, however, it is
indispensable for anyone who wants to fully understand Restoration
history, literature or society. Drawing on maps, sermons, diaries,
tracts, news and a range of literary sources to explore subjects as
diverse as prostitution, piety, wit, cartography, commerce,
heroism, and the 'talk of the town', "England in the 1670s" paints
a revealing and vibrant portrait of a society grappling with
change.
