A tiny majority of Englishmen defied the nation, beheaded their king and abolished those things which appeared the most fixed in the way that the State was organized - monarchy, the House of Lords, the confessional state. What was the effect of this and of the struggle for stability that ensued? This question is addressed here by eight historians in a book intended for students and those interested in the Civil Wars and their aftermath. The contributions are by David L. Smith, on the new constitution; Jonathon Scott, on republicanism; Alan Cromartie, on the rule of law; Ann Hughes, on religion; John Morrill, on post-Revolutionary society; Patricia Crawford, on women after the Revolution; and Steve Pincus, on England and the world in the 1650s. The book is edited by John Morrill, author of "Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution".

Britain under the reign of the Tudors and Stuarts was a country marked by extraordinary and dramatic change. These were the centuries of the Reformation, civil wars, and two revolutions; a time of upheaval that saw the trials and executions of two monarchs, two wives of a king, and two Archbishops of Canterbury; and a time of religious controversy that resulted in the torture or burning of hundreds of ordinary people. But this was also the time that saw an explosion of literacy and the printed word, transformations in landscapes and townscapes, new forms of wealth, new structures of power, and new forms of political participation that freed minds and broadened horizons in the generations from 1485 to 1689. In this exciting and richly illustrated new work, eighteen leading scholars explore the political, social, religious, and cultural history of this tumultuous time. From the maneuverings of rulers and powerbrokers, both religious and secular, to the profound social and cultural changes that affected the lives of ordinary men and women throughout Britain--indeed, throughout the world--The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor and Stuart Britain offers the most authoritative history of this great age ever published. 1160 g.
