More about the book
The years between 1603 and 1714 were perhaps the most decisive in English history. During this period modern English society and a modern state began to take shape, and England's position in the world was transformed. <i>The Century of Revolution</i> tries to penetrate below the familiar events to grasp what happened, both to ordinary English men and women as well as to kings and queens or abstractions like 'society' and 'the state'. The first edition of <i>The Century of Revolution</i> was published by Norton in 1966 as part of the Norton Library History of England. It has established itself as a classic and the outstanding book of the series. In this new edition, Dr. Hill includes the most important conclusions of recent research and has added postscripts drawing attention to especially significant books.
