Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of seventeenth-century English parliamentary records, offering a unique perspective on the evolving relationship between Parliament and the Crown during the turbulent reigns of James I and Charles I. The author expertly navigates the complexities of parliamentary debates, shedding light on the methods by which these historic discussions were documented and preserved. The book meticulously examines the different types of source materials available for reconstructing the proceedings of Parliament, including official journals, private diaries, and news-letters. The author highlights the limitations of traditional historical accounts that have relied heavily on a single, incomplete version of the "True Relation," a widely-circulated narrative of the 1629 parliamentary session. Through careful analysis and comparison of multiple manuscript copies, the author reveals the "True Relation" to be a compilation of separate speeches and news-letters, thereby challenging long-held assumptions about its authenticity and accuracy. The book's insights provide a groundbreaking understanding of how parliamentary power was wielded, contested, and ultimately shaped during this critical period of English history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
