Reviews

'Anyone who reads it and is bored has no interest in Stuart England'Clayton Roberts 'This is the introductory survey of seventeenth-century English history for which teachers in sixth form and tertiary education have been waiting for years.'John Morrill, History 'What an excellent book this is. The second edition provides without doubt the most up-to-date and the most judicious overview of the seventeenth century we are likely to have for many years...'Jeremy Gregory, History Today
