Description
England in the 17th Century: The History of England from King James I to the Glorious Revolution explores the tumultuous period of English history spanning from the reign of King James I to the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
This comprehensive history book draws on contemporary accounts and includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading, providing a detailed understanding of 17th century Europe, particularly its latter years, marked by a surge in innovation and scientific progress. The period is also known as the Age of Reason, with influential thinkers such as Francis Bacon and René Descartes shaping the era's intellectual landscape.
The book also delves into the reign of King John, a ruler whose reputation was marred by cruelty and incompetence, and the subsequent period of republican rule in England, from 1649 to 1660, when the country was governed without a monarch.
