Wide-ranging and original re-interpretation of English history and
national identity during the vital century (1660???1760) in which
the country emerged as the leading world power and developed its
peculiarly free political culture. Disputing the insular and
xenophobic image of the English in the period, and denying that
this was an age of secularisation, Tony Claydon demonstrates
instead the country's active participation in a 'protestant
international' and its deep attachment to a European 'Christendom'.
He shows how these outward-looking identities shaped key
developments by generating a profound sense of duty to God's
foreign faithful. The English built a world-beating state by
intervening abroad to defend Christendom and the reformation, and
their politics were forged as they debated different understandings
of these international entities. England may have diverged from
continental norms in this period but this book shows that it did so
because of its intense religious engagement with that continent.
