A revisionist history showing a gradual build-up of opposition
and a drift to conflict which few expected or wanted. And this
was despite growing Stuart absolutism, threats to Parliament
and the accepted civil order and religious controversy. It is
forensic study, full of fascinating and even unexpected details,
principal actors come to life and readers will feel involved in an
existential crisis of the British state(s).
The study of the three Kingdoms covers the major themes of
religious dispute with Laud, Wentworth and Strafford - towering
figures - church reform, 'godly'religions and explosion of 'news'
and pamphlets, the King and Lords and Commons, the Queen's,
often suspect influence, King Charles' absolutism and rigidity,
and iconic events like the Grand Remonstance, arrest of the Five
Members, Charles' departure from London and the raising of
the Royal Standard for war.
