Zusammenfassung: | "The 1670s were the heyday of Restoration England - a period of experimentation, politicization and strife. For those new to the period this book contains the full story of politics, war and religion, as well as a clear account of the popish plot and exclusion crises. More than this, however, it is indispensable for anyone who wants to fully understand Restoration history, literature or society. Drawing on maps, sermons, diaries, tracts, news and a range of literary sources to explore subjects as diverse as prostitution, piety, wit, cartography, commerce, heroism and the 'talk of the town', England in the 1670s paints a revealing and vibrant portrait of a society grappling with change."--BOOK JACKET. |
