Stuart Britain: A Very Short Introduction

John Morrill's Very Short Introduction to Stuart Britain sets the Revolution into its political, religious, social, economic, intellectual, and cultural contexts. It gives a graphic account of the effects of a century-long period during which population was growing inexorably and faster than both the food supply and the employment market. Vividly illustrated and full of startling detail, John Morrill offers an account that introduces the main issues of the period but also challenges received ideas of Stuart England.
