Description
The Restless Republic: Britain Without a Crown In 1649, Britain was plunged into revolution, and the English monarchy was abolished. The following decade was marked by turmoil and experimentation as the people struggled to establish a new order. This is the story of that extraordinary period, told through the lives of those who lived through it. From the corridors of power to the common fields and hillsides, Anna Keay brings to life the people who shaped this pivotal moment in British history. Her cast of characters includes visionaries, politicians, and ordinary citizens, all of whom played a part in shaping the future of the nation.
