Description
Stuart Britain: A Very Short Introduction explores the complex and tumultuous period in British history from 1603 to 1714. This concise guide sets the Revolution within its broader social, economic, intellectual, and cultural contexts, providing a nuanced understanding of the era's key events.
The book delves into the failed attempts of successive governments to establish a unified national church, the devastating effects of population growth on food supply and employment, and the catastrophic consequences of Charles I's blundering into civil war. The result was a period of upheaval that saw the abolition of the monarchy, the House of Lords, the bishops, the prayer book, and Christmas celebrations.
With its vivid illustrations and detailed analysis, this introduction is ideal for those new to the subject, as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding of Stuart England. The Very Short Introductions series offers a wealth of knowledge in almost every subject area, making it an excellent starting point or reference guide.
