The Stuart Age: England, 1603-1714

The Stuart Age: England, 1603-1714

by Barry Coward (Author)

Synopsis

Occupying the top spot on most undergraduate reading lists for this period, and widely used by teachers and students on A-level courses on early modern British history, The Stuart Age is the definitive history of England's century of civil war and revolution.

This new edition clarifies and makes sense of recent historiographical trends over the last decade. In a substantial new introduction to the volume, Barry Coward provides an important assessment of the impact of new revisionist approaches on historical writing about the Stuart age.
