About the Book

In this authoritative and clearly written survey, J.P. Kenyon examines the dramatic century of Stuart rule in England from 1603 to 1714. The book explores the complex relationship between monarchy and Parliament, the causes and consequences of civil war, the execution of Charles I, the Cromwellian interregnum, and the eventual Restoration of the monarchy.

Kenyon presents a unified and balanced interpretation of this turbulent era, highlighting political conflict, religious tension, constitutional change, and the gradual emergence of modern governance. With scholarly depth and accessible prose, the work provides readers with a coherent understanding of one of the most transformative periods in British history.

An essential read for students of early modern England, constitutional development, and European political history.
