Book Description:
|
Opposition to the Stuarts as an imperial dynasty led to revolution in all three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland that drew upon and shaped different perceptions of Britain. Allan Macinnes' wider contextualizing of a British revolution - which challenges the anglocentric dominance of British History - takes account of apocalyptic visions, baronial politics and commercial networks as well as confessional allegiances, representative images and written texts.
