The Stuart Age by Barry Coward
This classic text has sold over 50,000 copies since first published, and it has been widely hailed as the best of its kind on the period. This second edition reassesses the social, economic and intellectual dimensions of the age as well as it politics and religion. The Stuart Age is at the centre of the most lively and exciting debates of any period in British history. A flood of new research on seventeenth century England, and especially the interco-nnections between England and the rest of Britain has required the reinterpretation of many of its major aspects. In an extensively revised second edition of this seminal work Barry Coward reconsiders these key themes: A * the causes of the English Civil War A * the nature of the English Revolution A * the aims and achievements of Oliver Cromwell A * the continuation of religious passion in the politics of Restoration England A * the impact on Britain of the Glorious revolution
'This is the introductory survey of seventeenth-century English history for which teachers in sixth form and tertiary education have been waiting for years' John Morrill in History 'Anyone who reads it and is bored has no interest in Stuart England': Clayton Roberts
