Produktbeschreibung
This illuminating collection of essays assesses the seventeenth century interpreting what used to be called 'The Puritan Revolution' the ideas which helped to produce it and resulted from it and the relation between these ideas and the political and economic events of the day. Each essay approaches the subject from a different angle looking at aspects of the revolution - whether religious constitutional economic or biographical - in conjunction with a lively sympathy for the men who lived in that revolutionary time. Analysing the writings of Marvell Hobbes Harrington and Samuel Richardson as well as less 'respectable' writers Professor Hill examines the legacy of the Reformation and the inspiration provided by ideals like the Brotherhood of Man and the desire to re-create a pre-Norman Golden Age. A book that no serious student of our history should miss; it is a treasury of interesting detail and strong ideas CV Wedgwood.
