The late seventeenth century was a period of extraordinary
turbulence and political violence in Britain, the like of a which
has never been seen since. Beginning with the Restoration of the
monarchy after the Civil War, this book traces the fate of the
monarchy from Charles II's triumphant accession in 1660 to the
growing discontent of the 1680s. Harris looks beyond the popular
image of Restoration England revelling in its freedom from the
austerity of Puritan rule under a merry monarch and reconstructs
the human tragedy of Restoration politics where people were
brutalised, hounded and exploited by a regime that was desperately
insecure after two decade of civil war and republican rule.
