Revolution and Rebellion : State and Society in England in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

Omtale

This book counters the Marxist interpretation of the 1640s and the 'English Revolution' by developing our new understanding of the non-revolutionary nature of the world after 1660: it challenges the appropriateness of 'revolution' as a description of events like those of 1688, 1776 and the Industrial Revolution, emphasising instead the idea of 'rebellion'.
