Publisher Description: The Interregnum is one of the most colourful and celebrated episodes in the history of the British Isles. Ronald Hutton's book provides a concise synthesis of recent research into this area - now brought up-to-date to include the research of the 1990s. Hutton analyses the diplomatic, military, political, religious and intellectual developments of the period, and in so doing, tries to determine the real significance of the Interregnum. He also looks at the increasingly studied figure of Cromwell, and how recent research has brought both the man and his government to life. |
