Commonwealth Principles by Jonathan Scott, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Examining works which supported the abolition of monarchy and its replacement with a republic, Jonathan Scott ventures beyond existing studies of individual authors or specific themes to offer the first general account of an influential body of writing. Poets such as John Milton as well as journalists, political leaders, theorists and whig martyrs were among those contributing to the cultural ferment. The result is a major contribution to our understanding of seventeenth-century England, from one of its foremost historians. | Commonwealth Principles by Jonathan Scott, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
