Book Synopsis Into Another Mould by : T. G. S. Cain
Download or read book Into Another Mould written by T. G. S. Cain and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely agreed that the period from 1625 to 1700 witnessed radical shifts in English life and thought. For historians of politics, science, religion, and philosophy, it is a time when the intellectual bases of modern thought and modern institutions were in the process of formation: divine monarchy gave way to contractual monarchy, the ‘truths’ of received authority gave way to those reached by inductive reasoning. Although the year 1660 to some extent marks a turning point, this comprehensive and fascinating book, Into Another Mould (originally published in 1992), demonstrates an underlying continuity within the period of Stuart rule. It presents thinkers and writers before and after 1660 responding to similar dilemmas, albeit with different attitudes, methods, and conclusions. Central to this volume are the related concepts of authority and reason. By looking at the changing attitudes to these two concepts in all spheres of life, it examines the crucial developments of the period and their bearing on the literature. Within this framework, the authors examine social and political history, religious belief and scientific knowledge, and painting, sculpture, and architecture as contexts for the literature of the time. This book will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of English literature, history, and cultural studies.

Book Synopsis The Nature of the English Revolution by : John Morrill
Download or read book The Nature of the English Revolution written by John Morrill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Morrill has been at the forefront of modern attempts to explain the origins, nature and consequences of the English Revolution. These twenty essays -- seven either specially written or reproduced from generally inaccessible sources -- illustrate the main scholarly debates to which he has so richly contributed: the tension between national and provincial politics; the idea of the English Revolution as "the last of the European Wars of Religion''; its British dimension; and its political sociology. Taken together, they offer a remarkably coherent account of the period as a whole.
Download or read book Providence Lost written by Paul Lay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A compelling and wry narrative of one of the most intellectually thrilling eras of British history' Guardian. ***************** SHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 2020 England, 1651. Oliver Cromwell has defeated his royalist opponents in two civil wars, executed the Stuart king Charles I, laid waste to Ireland, and crushed the late king's son and his Scottish allies. He is master of Britain and Ireland. But Parliament, divided between moderates, republicans and Puritans of uncompromisingly millenarian hue, is faction-ridden and disputatious. By the end of 1653, Cromwell has become 'Lord Protector'. Seeking dragons for an elect Protestant nation to slay, he launches an ambitious 'Western Design' against Spain's empire in the New World. When an amphibious assault on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola in 1655 proves a disaster, a shaken Cromwell is convinced that God is punishing England for its sinfulness. But the imposition of the rule of the Major-Generals – bureaucrats with a penchant for closing alehouses – backfires spectacularly. Sectarianism and fundamentalism run riot. Radicals and royalists join together in conspiracy. The only way out seems to be a return to a Parliament presided over by a king. But will Cromwell accept the crown? Paul Lay narrates in entertaining but always rigorous fashion the story of England's first and only experiment with republican government: he brings the febrile world of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate to life, providing vivid portraits of the extraordinary individuals who inhabited it and capturing its dissonant cacophony of political and religious voices. ***************** Reviews: 'Briskly paced and elegantly written, Providence Lost provides us with a first-class ticket to this Cromwellian world of achievement, paradox and contradiction. Few guides take us so directly, or so sympathetically, into the imaginative worlds of that tumultuous decade' John Adamson, The Times. 'Providence Lost is a learned, lucid, wry and compelling narrative of the 1650s as well as a sensitive portrayal of a man unravelled by providence' Jessie Childs, Guardian.

Book Synopsis Disaffection and Everyday Life in Interregnum England by : Caroline Boswell
Download or read book Disaffection and Everyday Life in Interregnum England written by Caroline Boswell and published by Studies in Early Modern Cultur. This book was released on 2017 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did ordinary English men and women respond to the transformations that accompanied the regicide, the creation of a republic, and the rise of the Cromwellian Protectorate? This book uncovers grassroots responses to the tangible consequences of revolution, delving into everyday practices, social interactions, and power struggles as they intersected with the macro-politics of regime change. Tussles at local alehouses, encounters with excise collectors in the high street, and contests over authority at the marketplace reveal how national politics were felt across the most ordinary of activities. Using a series of case studies from counties, boroughs, and the London metropolis, Boswell argues that factional discourses and shifting power relations complicated social interaction. Localized disaffection was broadcast in newsbooks, pamphlets, and broadsides, shaping political rhetoric that refashioned grassroots grievances to promote royalist desires. By uniting disparate people who were alienated by the policies of interregnum regimes, this literature helped to create the spectre of a unified, royalist commons that materialized in the months leading up to Charles II's Restoration. Such agitation - from disaffected mutters to ritualistic violence against officials - informed the broad political culture that shaped debates over governance during one of the most volatile decades in British history. CAROLINE BOSWELL is Associate Professor in History at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay.
