  • - Orientalism, Religion and Politics in England and its Empire, 1648-1715
    von Pennsylvania) Bulman & William J. (Lehigh University
    41,00 €

    An original interpretation of the early European Enlightenment and the politics of religion in later Stuart England and its global empire. William J. Bulman provides a novel account of how the onset of globalization and the end of Europe's religious wars transformed English intellectual, religious and political life.

  • von L. J. Reeve
    63,00 €

    This study of the character and policies of Charles I provides an analysis of the political crisis leading to his personal rule in England during the years before the civil wars. It fills a gap in the historical literature of the period by integrating ideological with political developments and English with international affairs. It is also a contribution to the wider European history of a critical phase of the Thirty Years War. The book offers a new way of understanding Charles by demonstrating how ill-suited his personality was to the workings of the political world. It also argues that Charles's innovatory rule created a new pattern of national politics deeply destructive in its effects. The book gives a gripping account of the king's willingness to pervert the due process of law in dealing with his political opponents, as well as investigating his failures in religious and foreign policy.

  • von McMaster University, Ontario) Woolf, D. R. (Professor of History & usw.
    101,00 - 183,00 €

    Previous studies of historical writing during the early modern period have focused on authors and on their style or methodology. This work - based on a vast range of published and archival material - examines the social forces which controlled what was written, and the impact upon authors of readers and publishers.

  • von Daniel C. (Pennsylvania State University) Beaver
    43,00 - 92,00 €

    This study of English forests and hunting from the late sixteenth century to the early 1640s explores their significance in the symbolism and effective power of royalty and nobility in early modern England. Dan Beaver examines how local politics became bound up with national political and ideological divisions.

  • - Behmenism and its Development in England
    von Brian J. (University of Durham) Gibbons
    72,00 - 161,00 €

    This is the first comprehensive account of the development of the ideas on gender of Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) among his English followers. It deals with English Behmenism from its reception during the Interregnum through to its impact upon William Blake and the Swedenborgians in the eighteenth century.

  • - The Political Thought of the Public's 'Privado'
    von Michael (University of Alabama) Mendle
    53,00 - 110,00 €

    This is the first full study in fifty years of the author of the most celebrated political tract of the early years of the English Civil War. Parker's literary work is viewed in the light of his career as privado, or intimate adviser, to leading figures of the parliamentary leadership.

  • - Justice and Political Power, 1558-1660
    von University of London) Raffield & Paul (Birkbeck College
    81,00 - 105,00 €

    Examining aspects of law, history, art, drama and literature, this is an interesting interpretation of a hidden culture: the arcane world of the early modern legal community, its attempts to restrict governmental power during the period 1558 to 1660, and its aim to represent the order of an ideal commonwealth.

    von Paul D. (University of Virginia) Halliday
    54,00 - 148,00 €

  • von Ethan H. (Northwestern University Shagan
    47,00 €

    This is a study of popular responses to the English Reformation, analysing how ordinary people received, interpreted, debated, and responded to religious change. It differs from other studies by arguing that even at the popular level, political and theological processes were inseparable in the sixteenth century.

  • - History and Apocalypse in the Puritan Migration to America
    von Avihu (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Zakai
    63,00 - 128,00 €

    By tracing the ideological origins of the Puritan migration within the context of the English apocalyptic tradition, Dr Zakai shows how Puritans transformed the premises of that tradition by rejecting the notion of England as God's elect nation and by conferring that title upon the American wilderness.

  • - The Politics of Religious Controversy, 1603-1625
    von Charles W. A. (University of Cambridge) Prior
    52,00 - 133,00 €

    This 2005 book proposes a new model for understanding religious debates in the Churches of England and Scotland between 1603 and 1625. It argues that rival interpretations of scripture, pagan, and civil history and the sources central to the Christian tradition lay at the heart of disputes between contrasting ecclesiological visions.

  • von Paul Seaward
    89,00 €

    This book is the first detailed study of Westminster politics in the 1660s for over twenty years, and the first ever in-depth study of the legislation of the 1660s. Dr Seaward shows how these drastic and dramatic events had changed perceptions and attitudes in British politics.

  • von Jonathan Scott
    62,00 €

    In the century following his execution for treason in 1683, Algernon Sidney became one of the most widely influential political writers - in both Europe and America - that England had ever produced. This is the first full-scale study of Sidney for more than a century, and the first ever study of his political thought.

  • von Garthine (Cardiff University) Walker
    58,00 - 113,00 €

    This is the first study of how masculinity and femininity informed criminal behaviour and the treatment of men and women before the courts of early modern England. It shows that women were not treated leniently by the courts, and casts fresh light on the complexities of everyday life.

  • von Andy Wood
    48,00 - 136,00 €

    This is a major study of the 1549 rebellions, the largest and most important risings in Tudor England. Based upon extensive archival evidence, the book sheds fresh light on the causes, course and long-term consequences of the insurrections. Andy Wood focuses on key themes in the social history of politics, concerning the end of medieval popular rebellion; the Reformation and popular politics; popular political language; early modern state formation; speech, silence and social relations; and social memory and the historical representation of the rebellions. He examines the long-term significance of the rebellions for the development of English society, arguing that the rebellions represent an important moment of discontinuity between the late medieval and the early modern periods. This compelling history of Tudor politics from the bottom up will be essential reading for late medieval and early modern historians as well as early modern literary critics.

  • - Politics and Culture, 1714-1760
    von Cambridge) Smith & Hannah (Newnham College
    54,00 - 121,00 €

    This book, first published in 2006, is a revisionist account of the monarchy during the reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings of Britain, George I and George II.

  • - Propaganda and Politics from the Restoration until the Exclusion Crisis
    von Tim Harris
    68,00 €

    Attractively illustrated with polemical contemporary engravings, London Crowds demonstrates clearly the value of bringing together both high and low activity into a truly integrated social history of politics, and sheds important new light not just on urban agitation but on the nature of late-Stuart party conflict.

    von Stephen (University of Cambridge) Alford
    70,00 - 135,00 €

  • von David L. Smith
    82,00 - 195,00 €

    'Constitutional royalism' is one of the most familiar yet least often examined of all the political labels found in the historiography of the English Revolution. This book fills a gap by investigating the leading Constitutional royalists who rallied to King Charles I in 1642 while consistently urging him to reach an 'accommodation' with Parliament.

  • - Regulating Sex in England, 1470-1600
    von Martin (University of Oxford) Ingram
    46,00 - 118,00 €

    How was the law used to control sex in Tudor England? What were the differences between secular and religious practice? This major study, based on a wide range of church and secular court archives, explores sexual regulation in London and provincial England before, during and immediately after the Reformation.

  • von John M. Collins
    43,00 €

    John M. Collins presents the first comprehensive history of martial law in the early modern period. He argues that rather than being a state of exception from law, martial law was understood and practiced as one of the King's laws. Further, it was a vital component of both England's domestic and imperial legal order. It was used to quell rebellions during the Reformation, to subdue Ireland, to regulate English plantations like Jamestown, to punish spies and traitors in the English Civil War, and to build forts on Jamaica. Through outlining the history of martial law, Collins reinterprets English legal culture as dynamic, politicized, and creative, where jurists were inspired by past practices to generate new law rather than being restrained by it. This work asks that legal history once again be re-integrated into the cultural and political histories of early modern England and its empire.

  • von Alan Marshall
    68,00 €

    This is the first history of the espionage activities of the regime of Charles II. It examines the development of intelligence networks on a local and international level, the use made of the Post Office, codes and ciphers, and the employment of spies, informers and assassins.

  • von Tessa Watt
    104,00 €

    This book looks at popular belief through a detailed study of the cheapest printed wares in London in the century after the Reformation.

  • - Social Relations in Elizabethan London
    von Ian W. Archer
    70,00 €

    This work looks at the reasons for London's freedom from serious unrest in the later sixteenth century, when the city's rulers faced mounting problems with rapid population growth, spiralling prices, impoverishment and crime.

  • von Conal Condren
    53,00 €

    This is the first full account, analysis and subsequent history of George Lawson's Politica, 1660-89. For long accepted as a significant figure, through his criticism of Hobbes and his possible influence on Locke, Lawson has never been studied in depth, nor has his biography been previously established.

  • - Humanist Politics and Religion in the Reign of Henry VIII
    von Thomas Mayer
    63,00 €

    Thomas Starkey (c. 1495-1538) was the most Italianate Englishman of his generation. This book places Starkey into new and more appropriate contexts, both biographical and intellectual, taking him out of others in which he does not belong, from displaced Roundhead to follower of Marsilio of Padua.

  • - English Politics and the Coming of War, 1621-1624
    von Thomas Cogswell
    77,00 €

    In studying the English polity in a period of crisis, Professor Cogswell challenges many of the revisionist assumptions about early seventeenth-century England and highlights the dangers in confusing the history of Court faction with the broader political history of the period.

  • - Popular Religion and the English Reformation
    von Robert Whiting
    68,00 €

    This is a major investigation of the English Reformation, based primarily on original research in the south-west. Dr Whiting's controversial conclusion is that for most of the population the Reformation was less a conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism than a transition from religious commitment to religious passivity or even indifference.

  • - The Politics of Literature in the England of Charles I
    von Kevin Sharpe
    46,00 €

    Criticism and Compliment examines the poems, plays and masques of the three figures who succeeded Ben Jonson as authors of court entertainments in the England of Charles I. The courtly literature of Caroline England has been dismissed by critics and characterised by historians as propaganda for Charles I's absolutism penned by sycophantic hirelings.

  • - Participation and the Criminal Law in Seventeenth-Century England
    von Cynthia B. Herrup
    52,00 €

    Tracing the attitudes behind the enforcement of the criminal law in early modern England, this book, the first to be based on 17th-century legal records, beyond the county of Essex, blends social, legal and political history and offers an important complement to more conventional studies.
