Revolutionising politics

<p>In this fascinating collection twelve colleagues of the late Mark Kishlansky come together to reconsider the meanings of England's mid-seventeenth-century revolution. Their chapters range widely: from shipboard to urban conflicts; from court sermons to local finances; from debates over hairstyles to debates over the meanings of regicide; from courtrooms to pamphlet wars; and from religious rights to human rights. Taken together they indicate how we might improve our understanding of a turbulent epoch in political history by approaching it more modestly and quietly than historians of recent decades have often done.<br><br><i>Revolutionising politics</i> will appeal to professional historians and their students interested in the social cultural religious and legal history of seventeenth-century English politics. Specific chapters will interest scholars in book history the cultural history of politics and the history of political civil and human rights.</p>
