This is an original interpretation of the early European
Enlightenment and the religious conflicts that rocked England and
its empire under the later Stuarts. In a series of vignettes that
move between Europe and North Africa, William J. Bulman shows that
this period witnessed not a struggle for and against new ideas and
greater freedoms, but a battle between several novel schemes for
civil peace. Bulman considers anew the most apparently conservative
force in post-Civil War English history: the conformist leadership
of the Church of England. He demonstrates that the church's
historical scholarship, social science, pastoral care and political
practice amounted not to a culturally backward spectacle of
intolerance, but to a campaign for stability drawn from the
frontiers of erudition and globalization. In seeking to sever the
link between zeal and chaos, the church and its enemies were thus
united in an Enlightenment project, but bitterly divided over what
it meant in practice.
