A Happier Man: The Refashioning of William Walwyn
The compromises that former radicals make with the world hold perennial appeal for scholars with a taste for schadenfreude. Whether such adjustments result from ageing or from regime-change, they resemble the life-experiences of enough academics for displacement or transference to sharpen the more familiar scholarly satisfactions. Sometimes, though, the politics of compromise are sufficiently striking, or the position of the subject sufficiently …

Reading the Royal Romance: Or, Intimacy in a King's Cabinet
Social and cultural articulations of the body have lately constituted one of the liveliest areas of early-modern scholarship. Privacy, gender roles, separate spheres, domesticity, all have been the subjects of intense inquiry, which has thrown light on the assumptions and conventions that structured the experience of people in the past. Concerned as such inquiry has largely been with the daily lives of ordinary people, it has moved far - farther …

High Summer at Nun Appleton, 1651: Andrew Marvell and Lord Fairfax'S Occasions
Andrew Marvell's country-house epic , Upon Appleton House, has long been understood as a meditation on conventional philosophical themes. An exact dating allows us to see the topical and polemical force of those themes. Moreover, situating the poem within particular chronological and geographical confines, the summer of 1651 and the household of the recently retired Lord General as well as the political geography of the vale of York, reveals the …
A Nation of Change and Novelty: Radical Politics, Religion, and Literature in Seventeenth-Century England

Whilst recent historians have tended to play down the historical significance of the English Revolution, Christopher Hill emphasiz…

The Privy Council and Problems of Enforcement in the 1620s
It has become the fashion amongst historians seeking to explain the collapse of early Stuart rule to ignore the center and to consider instead the alienation of the local communities and their leaders, on whose co-operation the execution of the crown's policy depended. G. E. Aylmer has become something of a lone voice in the respect that he accords to central government, and even he deliberately and cautiously refrained from commenting in his mag…

I. The Defection of Sir Edward Dering, 1640–1641
Historiography of the years immediately preceding the English civil war has tended to conceive of two disparate entities in politics, Westminster and the localities. There are in practice two distinct kinds of history, reflecting diis division, which connect only on rare occasions. The latest major work on the period can, despite its title, limit itself almost entirely to the confines of Westminster and the court, while the student is faintly awa…

The Seventeenth-Century Freeholder and the Statistician: A Case of Terminological Confusion
A DEBATE on the social distribution of landownership in early modern England occupied the pages of this journal few years ago. The concern of both authors, whatever their differing conclusions, was with the emergence of England's distinctive landed structure of the eighteenth century, which has been considered precondition for industrialization.' But the ambiguity of contemporary term, and the preoccupation of both authors with total acreages, ra…
