In many areas this integrated collection of original studies breaks new ground, and brings the student up to date with current research, much of it published here for the first time. It concentrates on central themes of debate for which clarification is mpst useful to students. Though primarily intended for historians, its treatment of social and cultural factors makes it useful to interdisciplinary studies and to students of literature and society in the seventeenth century.
The contributors comprise (in addition to the Editor, Conrad Russell): Robin Clifton, Penelope Corfield, J. H. Elliott, Michael Hawkins, L. M. Hill, M. J. Mendle, P. W. Thomas and Nicholas Tyacke. Vissza
