Book Synopsis
The Discourse of Legitimacy is a wide-ranging, synoptic study of England's conflicted political cultures in the period between the Protestant Reformation and the civil war.

Trade Review
"In seeking the causes of the English Revolution, the author considers discourses about the nature and seat of legitimacy relating to the control of the discussions concerning religion, drama, history, and, ultimately, political power... The uniqueness of his outstanding work lies in detailed examination of the discourses conducted from the commencement of the English Reformation to the onset of the English Civil War." -- CHOICE
