Charles I (British History in Perspective) - Hardcover

A fair trial for King Charles I, which clarifies how new works about early Stuart politics relate to each other, and to the old work. Young (history, Illinois Wesleyan U.) guides the reader through recent literature, explaining the issues at stake, and suggesting which historians have been right or wrong where Charles is concerned. Organized around a dramatic narrative of events that puts Charles back into perspective, the survey concludes that bold claims about originality and revisionism in recent literature have been greatly exaggerated.
