Críticas:

This collection of essays grew out of a conference held at Keele University in May 2002. The collection succeeds in its endeavour to open up new fields of inquiry, which may prove of interest to historians of the 1630s.

Fascinating material (Nottingham Evening Post) --Nottingham Evening Post

This is a fine volume that certainly succeeds in its aim. --Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex

Reseña del editor:

This is an exciting collection of essays on the rule of Charles I at a time of fundamental importance to English history. This book combines the work of historians with academics from literary studies to provide an interdisciplinary study of the culture and political life of the decade. The chapters focus on issues regarding politics, religion, the monarchy and culture, as well as literature and art history. Essays examine everything from the King's correspondence, to the role of consort queens at court and opposition to the King in libel, satire and on the stage. Many historians assert that it was Charles's inept and dangerous policy of 'personal rule' which was responsible for putting the country on the road to civil war. This book will be invaluable for students and lecturers seeking to better understand the causes of the conflict. -- .
