It describes the effects of a century-long period during which population was growing inexorably and faster than both the food supply and the employment market. It portrays the unexpected irruption into civil war which then took on a terrifying momentum of its own, resulting in violent revolution and in the abolition of the monarchy, the House of Lords and the established Church, and it describes how painfully and with what difficulty order and obedience was restored. Full of startling detail, this is an introduction for those interested in the period, and also contains much to challenge and stimulate those who already feel at home in Stuart England.
