Oxford Handbook of the English Revolution

About this book

Brings together leading historians of the events surrounding the English Revolution, exploring how those events grew out of, and resonated, in the politics and interactions of each of the Three Kingdoms--England, Scotland, and Ireland. It captures both a shared British and Irish history, and a comparative history of the varying significance of events and outcomes across the Three Kingdoms. It offers a broader context for the history of the Scottish Covenanters, the Irish Rising of 1641, and the government of Confederate Ireland, as well as the British and Irish perspective on the English civil wars, the English Revolution, the Regicide, and the Cromwellian period.
