England's Troubles: Seventeenth-Century English Political Instability in European ContextSeventeenth century English history is known best for the English Civil War and the English Revolution. This highly original and wide ranging study analyzes and explains both of these major historical events, and others, by setting them in their wider contexts in relation to political instability across the century; in relation to the history of religions and political ideas; and in relation to contemporary European events.
