Alastair Bellany, American Historical Review This magisterial overview of a highly complex period of British history engages equally effectively with political and religious history while integrating cultural, social, and intellectual contexts into its analyses. It is lucidly structured, well-written, and vividly sustained with rich archival evidence. Above all, it reminds us why the history of early Stuart Britain still fascinates, and why it still matters.
Martyn Bennet, English Historical Review this is an engaging and convincing work: moreover, and very importantly, it is an extraordinarily enjoyable read
