The Century of Revolution

1603-1714

Beschreibung

During this period modern English society and a modern state began to take shape, and England's position in the world was transformed. The Century of Revolution tries to penetrate below the familiar events to grasp when happened-to ordinary English men and women as well as to kings and queens or abstractions like "society" and "the state." In this new edition, Dr. Hill includes the most important conclusions of recent research and has added postscripts drawing attention to especially significant books.

Autor

Christopher Hill was for many years tutor and then Master of Balliol College, Oxford.

Rezensionen

'This is a book we have all been waiting for - a history of the political and religious conflicts of the seventeenth century that is rooted in reality; and it will be a long, long time before this brilliantly lucid and forcefully argued book is bettered.' - Spectator

'Lucid and economical ... his immense range of reading sits lightly upon him, revealed only in the frequent, telling quotation on every aspect of seventeenth century life ... ingenious and provocative.' - Times Literary Supplement
