    Examining aspects of law, history, art, drama and literature, this is an interesting interpretation of a hidden culture: the arcane world of the early modern legal community, its attempts to restrict governmental power during the period 1558 to 1660, and its aim to represent the order of an ideal commonwealth.

  • av Ethan H. (Northwestern University Shagan
    600,-

    av Avihu (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Zakai
    686 - 1 600,-

    By tracing the ideological origins of the Puritan migration within the context of the English apocalyptic tradition, Dr Zakai shows how Puritans transformed the premises of that tradition by rejecting the notion of England as God's elect nation and by conferring that title upon the American wilderness.

  • - The Politics of Religious Controversy, 1603-1625
    av Charles W. A. (University of Cambridge) Prior
    560 - 1 416,-

    This 2005 book proposes a new model for understanding religious debates in the Churches of England and Scotland between 1603 and 1625. It argues that rival interpretations of scripture, pagan, and civil history and the sources central to the Christian tradition lay at the heart of disputes between contrasting ecclesiological visions.

  • av Paul Seaward
    710,-

    This book is the first detailed study of Westminster politics in the 1660s for over twenty years, and the first ever in-depth study of the legislation of the 1660s. Dr Seaward shows how these drastic and dramatic events had changed perceptions and attitudes in British politics.

  • av Jonathan Scott

  • av Garthine (Cardiff University) Walker
    646 - 1 406,-

  • av Karin (University of Glasgow) Bowie
    1 116,-

  • av Andy Wood
    616 - 1 340,-

    This is a major study of the 1549 rebellions, the largest and most important risings in Tudor England. Based upon extensive archival evidence, the book sheds fresh light on the causes, course and long-term consequences of the insurrections. Andy Wood focuses on key themes in the social history of politics, concerning the end of medieval popular rebellion; the Reformation and popular politics; popular political language; early modern state formation; speech, silence and social relations; and social memory and the historical representation of the rebellions. He examines the long-term significance of the rebellions for the development of English society, arguing that the rebellions represent an important moment of discontinuity between the late medieval and the early modern periods. This compelling history of Tudor politics from the bottom up will be essential reading for late medieval and early modern historians as well as early modern literary critics.

  • - Propaganda and Politics from the Restoration until the Exclusion Crisis
    av Tim Harris
    666,-

    Attractively illustrated with polemical contemporary engravings, London Crowds demonstrates clearly the value of bringing together both high and low activity into a truly integrated social history of politics, and sheds important new light not just on urban agitation but on the nature of late-Stuart party conflict.

  • av David L. Smith
    520 - 1 626,-

    'Constitutional royalism' is one of the most familiar yet least often examined of all the political labels found in the historiography of the English Revolution. This book fills a gap by investigating the leading Constitutional royalists who rallied to King Charles I in 1642 while consistently urging him to reach an 'accommodation' with Parliament.

  • av Naomi (University of Cambridge) Pullin
    516 - 1 340,-

    This original interpretation of the lives and social interactions of Quaker women in the British Atlantic between 1650 and 1750 highlights the unique ways in which adherence to the movement shaped women's lives, as well as the ways in which female Friends transformed seventeenth- and eighteenth-century religious and political culture.

  • - Regulating Sex in England, 1470-1600
    av Martin (University of Oxford) Ingram
    466 - 1 170,-

  • av John M. Collins
    516 - 1 310,-

    John M. Collins presents the first comprehensive history of martial law in the early modern period. He argues that rather than being a state of exception from law, martial law was understood and practiced as one of the King's laws. Further, it was a vital component of both England's domestic and imperial legal order. It was used to quell rebellions during the Reformation, to subdue Ireland, to regulate English plantations like Jamestown, to punish spies and traitors in the English Civil War, and to build forts on Jamaica. Through outlining the history of martial law, Collins reinterprets English legal culture as dynamic, politicized, and creative, where jurists were inspired by past practices to generate new law rather than being restrained by it. This work asks that legal history once again be re-integrated into the cultural and political histories of early modern England and its empire.

  • av Alan Marshall
    526,-

    This is the first history of the espionage activities of the regime of Charles II. It examines the development of intelligence networks on a local and international level, the use made of the Post Office, codes and ciphers, and the employment of spies, informers and assassins.

    670,-

  • av Conal Condren
    560,-

    This is the first full account, analysis and subsequent history of George Lawson's Politica, 1660-89. For long accepted as a significant figure, through his criticism of Hobbes and his possible influence on Locke, Lawson has never been studied in depth, nor has his biography been previously established.

  • - Humanist Politics and Religion in the Reign of Henry VIII
    av Thomas Mayer
    630,-

    Thomas Starkey (c. 1495-1538) was the most Italianate Englishman of his generation. This book places Starkey into new and more appropriate contexts, both biographical and intellectual, taking him out of others in which he does not belong, from displaced Roundhead to follower of Marsilio of Padua.

  • - English Politics and the Coming of War, 1621-1624
    av Thomas Cogswell
    716,-

    In studying the English polity in a period of crisis, Professor Cogswell challenges many of the revisionist assumptions about early seventeenth-century England and highlights the dangers in confusing the history of Court faction with the broader political history of the period.

  • - Popular Religion and the English Reformation
    av Robert Whiting
    770,-

    This is a major investigation of the English Reformation, based primarily on original research in the south-west. Dr Whiting's controversial conclusion is that for most of the population the Reformation was less a conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism than a transition from religious commitment to religious passivity or even indifference.

  • - The Politics of Literature in the England of Charles I
    av Kevin Sharpe
    560,-

    Criticism and Compliment examines the poems, plays and masques of the three figures who succeeded Ben Jonson as authors of court entertainments in the England of Charles I. The courtly literature of Caroline England has been dismissed by critics and characterised by historians as propaganda for Charles I's absolutism penned by sycophantic hirelings.

    av Cynthia B. Herrup
    516,-

    Tracing the attitudes behind the enforcement of the criminal law in early modern England, this book, the first to be based on 17th-century legal records, beyond the county of Essex, blends social, legal and political history and offers an important complement to more conventional studies.
