Inhaltsangabe

Insolent proceedings brings together leading scholars working on the politics, religion and literature of the English Revolution. It embraces new approaches to the upheavals that occurred in the mid-seventeenth century, in daily life as well as in debates between parliamentarians, royalists and radicals. Driven by a determination to explore the dynamic course and consequences of the civil wars and Interregnum, contributors investigate the polemics, print culture and everyday practices of the revolutionary decades, in order to rethink the period’s ‘public politics’. This involves integrating national and local affairs, as well as ‘elite’ and ‘popular’ culture, and looking at the connections between everyday activism and ideological endeavours. The book also examines participation by – and the treatment of – women from all walks of life.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Insolent proceedings explores new directions in the history of the English Revolution. Driven by the idea that historians have focused more on the causes of the Revolution than on its course and consequences, the collection rethinks the dynamics of the revolutionary decades.

Addressing the transformative effects of political and religious upheaval during the 1640s–50s, the chapters revise our understanding of public politics in terms of the practices, debates and communicative strategies associated with the print revolution, polemic and the mobilisation of opinion. Bridging the divide between elite and popular politics, they develop new approaches to participation: by soldiers and members of the parliamentarian army, ordinary Londoners and provincial parishioners. Critically, they analyse the involvement, agency and treatment of women from all walks of life in both activism and debate.

Building on and honouring the work of Ann Hughes, who has transformed scholarship on the mid-seventeenth century, this interdisciplinary collection provides fresh perspectives on political and religious radicalism, from canonical authors to sectarian activists, as well as on relations between centre and locality, and on connections between ideological endeavour and everyday politics.
