An excellent piece of history writing....It is hoped that the book reaches a wide readership especially those interested social, cultural, and political histories. For scholars working in memory studies, this is a goldmine. * A TRUMPET OF SEDITION * [Neufeld] has begun a more detailed and closely argued discussion of late Stuart public memory than any to date, and The Civil Wars after 1660 will serve as an important frame of reference for future work on this subject. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES * Offer[s] a welcome consolidation of arguments and material concerning the politics of memory in later Stuart England. * HISTORY * An important addition to the historiographical 'turn to memory' which demonstrates convincingly that public remembrance of the civil wars was a vital element of post-Restoration discourse. * WAR IN HISTORY * A thoughtful, thorough and generally persuasive monograph. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW * A valuable contribution to the rapidly growing field of interest in public memory of the early modern period in England. * SEVENTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL * This is a welcome addition to a burgeoning field of study - the nature and role of memory in pre-modern cultures - and it also speaks to a growing interest in the nature of post-war societies and the processes of post-conflict reconciliation. . An interesting and controversial argument about the politics of historical production in Restoration England. * REVIEWS IN HISTORY * The Civil Wars after 1660 opens up this new and highly worthwhile subject of study, sketching out the territory and a key theme, the early politicization of memories of the Civil War, with a series valuable essays. It leaves a tempting landscape for further exploration by both historians and literary scholars. * RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY * An intelligent, alert, and challenging book that deserves to be widely read by all those who want to understand the political, religious, and intellectual history of late seventeenth century England; and who want to grapple with the way that the writings of that period still shape and distort our view of the Revolution itself. * CANADIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY *
