focusses on the social and economic developments of the Puritan

political. Using archival resources, this study shows that the
period 1640-1660 was one of change and experiment in the social as
well as political sphere. Particular focus is given to the
depression in industry and agriculture and the resultant increase
in poverty and unemployment. The extent to which the traditional
authority of church and state was weakened, is also discussed.

first day she meets Harry Gale and Max Farley, two fellow
undergraduates who are both full of mischievous charm. The three of
them become firm great friends and enjoy exploring everything
Oxford has to offer, from riotous parties to punting up the river
on sunny afternoons. However, something threatens to disrupt the
fun, because Lily soon realises she's falling for both of her
new-found friends, men who might offer her two very different
futures - but who will she pick? Harry is generous and kind,
reliable and trustworthy. Max embodies the spirit of the sixties;
adventurous and rebellious, but possibly a little bit dangerous as
well. As university ends and Lily struggles to make her mark on the
vibrant fashion scene, she must make a decision. But she soon
becomes aware that the wrong decision could have devastating
consequences for her own future and for Max's and Harry's futures,
too ...
