| Description | | - Coverage of the 'short' seventeenth century, from the accession of James I to the revolution of 1688
- Stress on the deep differences between the kingdoms of the British Isles is balanced by recognition of the interlinking 'British' impact of tensions within each
- Diverse coverage includes cultural, religious, and intellectual history alongside material history
- Each chapter written by a leading individual scholar, ensuring mature, reliable, and expert analysis of each area covered
| | The chapters in this volume, each written by a leading scholar of the period, analyse in turn the response to the Union of 1603, the religious controversies under the early Stuarts, the Civil War, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods, and the social and economic context within which these developments took place. |
Readership: Undergraduates studying the history of the British Isles in the seventeenth century; background reading for students of seventeenth-century European history, philosophy, politics, and literature; also for the interested general reader
