Originally published in 1930 and reprinted in 1966 this book
focusses on the social and economic developments of the Puritan
revolution - aspects which are often overlooked in favour of the
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.

fun, because Lily soon realises she's falling for both of her

too ...
