Britain's Revolutionary Decade 1649-1660
Book • 2024
Alice Hunt's 'Republic' is a comprehensive history of the tumultuous decade in England following the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I. The book divides into three parts, focusing on the cultural developments and innovations of the period, including the rise of intellectual life and the formation of the Experimental Philosophy Club, which later became the Royal Society.
Hunt provides a balanced view of Oliver Cromwell's role and the eventual restoration of the monarchy, emphasizing that this period was not just an 'interregnum' but a time of significant change and innovation.
