Restoration : England in the 1660s, Hardcover by Keeble, N. H., ISBN 0631195742, ISBN-13 9780631195740, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Keeble (English studies, U. of Stirling) examines the "diversity of experience and expectation" occurring during the English Restoration. Though the presentation appears to be mainly chronological, the text is structured around a series of themes explored through written evidence of those living through the 1660s diaries, journals and memoirs, contemporary chronicles, polemical tracts, pamphlets and newspapers revealing the "anxieties and tensions, insecurities and bewilderments through which the decade represented itself in personal terms."

About this product

Product Information

The restoration of the monarchy in 1660 and the return of Charles II to his throne have often been depicted as a watershed in English history, inaugurating a period of stability following the upheavals and radicalism of the Civil War, the Republic and the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. N. H. Keeble's study challenges this portrayal of events, arguing that the Restoration was in fact tentative and insecure, unsure either of its popular support or its future. Keebles cultural history of the 1660s offers a multi-faceted and dynamic model of the decade. Drawing extensively on contemporary accounts, the author reveals that for those who lived through them, the events of 1660 carried no sense of finality or assurance of a new age. By representing the voices of the time, his account restores contingency, instability and insecurity to the Restoration and demonstrates that the 1660s were no less complex or exciting than the revolutionary years that preceded them.

Generous use of apt, often colourful quotations from contemporary sources gives the book a refreshing air and makes for a compelling read.
