Conclusions. ***'Heine has usually been seen as a divided mind: the singer of love-lyrics set against the revolutionary; the satirist against the sentimentalist; the half-romantic. The present study looks for unity in him and finds it, or finds a sufficiency of it, in the closely related group of images which appear in everything he wrote, in his verse and his prose, whether early or late, imaginative or journalistic. The images are chiefly images of the theatre and show Heine as - in a special sense of the word - theatre-minded. It is argued further that the images are primarily those of one who looks out on the world; they enable us to see the world with his eyes and so to understand him as creative writer.

The History of the Rebellion was the first full scale detailed history of the Civil War, made even more influential by the fact Hyde was a key player in the events during the War. He wrote these works between 1646 and 1648. He was banished and during this time completed his autobiographical Life. In 1671 he revised his History and incorporated his Life into it. History was first published as a part of the publishing war between the Roundheads and Cavaliers. Edward Hyde was the 1st Earl of Clarendon. He was loyal to the King and built the Royalist cause.

He also showed contempt for the King's new mistress, and because of ill-health, his authority quickly weakened. After a few political hardships, he went into exile.

There are numerous mentions of Issac Newton throughout, prominently in Book I, Chapter III.

William Jones, known as William Jones of Nayland was a Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist. " At Oxford, too, Jones, Horne, and some of their other friends were drawn to the semi-mystical writings of the anti-Newtonian and anti-Lockian John Hutchinson, and developed a high-church theology which was entirely consistent with the predominantly tory mentality of their university. Although by no means an uncritical Hutchinsonian, Jones shared Hutchinson's admiration for the nonjurors and his notions of the English constitution as divinely sanctioned." (Oxford DNB). "In 1756 Jones published his tract The Catholic Doctrine of a Trinity, a statement of the doctrine from the Hutchinsonian point of view, with a summary of biblical proofs. This was followed in 1762 by an Essay on the First Principles of Natural Philosophy, in which he maintained the theories of Hutchinson in opposition to those of Isaac Newton" (Wikipedia) "Early Hutchinsonians did not see Newton and his followers simply as searchers after the truth of the material cosmos, but as aiming to reach conclusions about the Divine Cosmos leading to Deist/Arian or even Unitarian conclusions. As far as the Hutchinsonians were concerned, Newtonians were more to blame than any other potentially heterodox group in England, for the existing threat to the religious and political establishment."
