ENGLAND IN CONFLICT 1603-1660
by
HIRST, DEREK (UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE)
Widely praised and consistently popular since its first publication in 1987, 'Early Modern England' now reflects in this new edition the invigorating and substantial changes that have swept the field over the past decade and more. It combines consideration of more traditional concerns of social history with investigation of the newer items on the agenda of historians. There is as much attention given to the spiritual and mental worlds and cultural history as to examination of social structures. Even social structure is understood in a wider sense than would once have been customary, with family and local community firmly part of the analysis. The result is a masterly study, providing the only up-to-date interpretation available for the period. .
