This 1995 book explores what the Victorians said about the Stuart
past, with particular emphasis on changing interpretations of
Cromwell and the Puritans. It analyses in detail the historical
writings of Henry Hallam, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Thomas Carlyle
and Samuel Rawson Gardiner, placing them in a context that stresses
the importance of religious controversy for the nineteenth century.
The book argues that the Victorians found the Stuart past
problematic because they perceived a connection between the
religious disputes of the seventeenth century and the sectarian
discord of their own age. Cromwell and the Puritans became an
acceptable part of the national past only as the English state lost
its Anglican exclusiveness. The tendency to accommodate Cromwell
and the Puritans, particularly in the work of Gardiner, thus
reflected a process of nation building that sought to remove
sectarian divisions and which reached its climax as the Victorian
age came to its close.
