Culture and power in England, 1585-1685

R. Malcolm Smuts

"This book integrates recent work by historians and scholars into an original interpretation of how political culture developed during this eventful period. It rejects Whiggish and Marxist teleologies that have shaped previous accounts of this subject and emphasizes instead the diversity of cultural perspectives available in the period; the role played by concepts of honour, law, divine providence and humanist scholarship; and the profound importance of religious tensions in shaping political imagination."--Jacket.
