Description: Mark Goldie's authoritative and highly readable introduction to the political and religious landscape of Britain during the turbulent era of later Stuart rule.
Brief description: Mark Goldie is Emeritus Professor of Intellectual History in the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Churchill College. He has edited or authored 12 books and published more than 60 essays on British political, religious, and intellectual history in the period 1650-1800. Two of his books are published by Boydell and Brewer: The Entring Book of Roger Morrice and Roger Morrice and the Puritan Whigs.
Review Quotes: Goldie's work transcends its genre and takes on an importance of its own. . . . The reader of this book, which covers so elegantly and clearly material on biography, theology, politics (both in and out of doors), and political thought, is left with deep admiration for its author, and the slightly depressing question: could anybody else possibly have written it?-- "H-ALBION"
