Description
For the English, the 17th century began with a Scot on the throne; it ended in the shadow of a Dutch invasion. Midway through, society collapsed into a civil war, followed by an army coup and regicide. Briefly, England was a republic, fizzing with new ideas about power, faith, loyalty and freedom. And yet for all its drama, this is now a hazily understood century in England’s history. From raw politics to religious divisions, plague to press freedoms, this book tells its story in exuberant, panoramic detail.
