Back cover: First published as part of the Pelican History of England, Maurice Ashley's book has been long established as a classic, and a central text for students of seventeenth-century English history. The book covers every aspect of English life from the arrival of James I in England up to the death of Queen Anne. The chapters on political history are organized chronologically, interspersed with thematic chapters which analyse change and development in family and social life, literature and the arts, scientific and philosophical ideas, and the growth of the first British Empire. For this edition, Mr. Ashley has updated the text and the bibliography, and added a new chapter on family history.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

<p>One of the most dramatic periods in English history was that of the civil wars fought throughout the country in the mid-17th century. The population was split down the middle. While many peers and gentry took the side of the King, others equally supported the leaders of Parliament, so families and friends were painfully divided in their loyalties. The final defeat, trial and execution of King Charles I shock the monarchies throughout Europe but left them deeply impressed by the victories of Oliver Cromwell and by his seizure of power as Lord Protector. The origins of the war and the course of the campaigns are here comprehensively described by the late Maurice Ashley, a leading authority on 17th-century England, who based his narrative on the latest academic research and on the analysis by military experts of such important battles as those of Marsten Moor and Naseby.</p>
