Charles's use of access to his person as a potent political tool
reveals detail of contemporary politics and attitudes to monarchy.
In an era dominated by monarchs like Louis XIV and Philip IV who
used distance to generate awe, Charles II's reputation for
accessibility stands out. Most scholars enamored with anecdotes
about the restored monarch's many mistresses, his rakish
companions, and his spaniels have assumed that Charles's
personality inevitably led him to open access and that such
accessibility remained a constant throughout his reign. Charles II
and the Politics of Access argues to the contrary that political
concerns, not personality, brought this king to at first favor open
access, for he believed that accessibility would aid him in uniting
his strife-torn nation and thereby help to secure histhrone. But
when Charles II's political agenda changed so too did his policies
of access: when he abandoned his goal of uniting his nation he also
abandoned his commitment to accessibility. Even so he continued to
use access to his person as a potent political tool, strictly
regulating it in order to galvanize his supporters and dishearten
his opponents. This book further contends that policies of access
had ramifications far beyond the realm of high politics. By
examining how changes in the manner of interaction between subject
and sovereign affected such diverse areas as architecture,
religious identity, business practices, economic theory, and even
the self-conception of the English nation, this book offers new
insights not only about the reign of Charles II, but also about the
institution of monarchy. BRIAN WEISER is visiting assistant
professor at the University of New Hampshire.
