In this fascinating and unique study, Ann Hughes examines how
the experience of civil war in seventeenth-century England affected
the roles of women and men in politics and society; and how
conventional concepts of masculinity and femininity were called
into question by the war and the trial and execution of an anointed
King. Ann Hughes combines discussion of the activities of women in
the religious and political upheavals of the revolution, with a
pioneering analysis of how male political identities were fractured
by civil war. Traditional parallels and analogies between marriage,
the family and the state were shaken, and rival understandings of
sexuality, manliness, effeminacy and womanliness were deployed in
political debate.
In a historiography dominated by military or political
approaches, Gender and the English Revolution reveals the
importance of gender in understanding the events in England during
the 1640s and 1650s. It will be an essential resource for anyone
interested in women s history, feminism, gender or British
History.

This book tells the story of how nineteenth-century writers turned
to the realist novel in order to reimagine Jesus during a century
where traditional religious faith appeared increasingly untenable.
Re-workings of the canonical Gospels and other projects to
demythologize the story of Jesus are frequently treated as projects
aiming to secularize and even discredit traditional Christian
faith. The novels of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, Eliza Lynn
Linton, and Mary Augusta Ward, however, demonstrate that the work
of bringing the Christian tradition of prophet, priest, and king
into conversation with a rapidly changing world can at times be a
form of authentic faith—even a faith that remains rooted in the
Bible and historic Christianity, while simultaneously creating a
space that allows traditional understandings of Jesus’ identity
to evolve.
