Unrevolutionary England, 1603 - 1642

What holds these essays together is the rejection of the theme involved in such slogans as ' the birth of the modern world'. England before the Civil War was not a country welcoming a brave new world, but one clinging fearfully to an old one. The boards, binding and text block are tight and clean, the dust jacket has light wear to the top corners. Book price includes 2nd class postage UK only.

From Publisher:

What holds these essays together is the rejection of the idea of 'the birth of the modern world'. England before the Civil War was not a country welcoming a brave new world but one clinging fearfully to an old one. Change, where it happened, was not the result of a deliberate striving for 'progress', and the polity of pre-Civil War England was not on the point of collapse. Parliaments were not dominated by two 'sides' in training for a Cup Final at Naseby, but were groups of people struggling with limited success to reach agreement.
