Their chapters range widely: from shipboard to urban conflicts; from court sermons to local finances; from debates over hairstyles to debates over the meanings of regicide; from courtrooms to pamphlet wars; and from religious rights to human rights. Taken together, they indicate how we might improve our understanding of a turbulent epoch in political history by approaching it more modestly and quietly than historians of recent decades have often done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevolutionising politics\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to professional historians and their students interested in the social, cultural, religious and legal history of seventeenth-century English politics.

As a historian of seventeenth-century Britain, Kishlansky made major contributions to our understanding of England’s mid-century revolution. He challenged the idea that it was the result of a long process of political transformation and emphasised how dramatically it reshaped and modernised English politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors to this volume explore an array of topics relating to the revolution. They range widely, from shipboard to urban conflicts, from court sermons to local finances, from debates over hairstyles to debates over the meanings of regicide, from courtrooms to pamphlet wars and from religious rights to human rights. By engaging and often challenging some of Kishlansky’s most important arguments about the era, these chapters indicate how we might improve our understanding of a turbulent epoch by approaching it more modestly and quietly than historians of recent decades have often done. The volume thus offers new ways for considering the history of conflict as practices we associate with modern political thought and action came into being nearly four centuries ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing contributions from an international group of distinguished historians, \u003ci\u003eRevolutionising politics \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to students and scholars of seventeenth-century British history and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword: Why was Kish a historian? – John Morrill\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Mark Kishlansky’s Revolution – Eleanor Hubbard, Scott Sowerby and Paul D.
