Life under the Stuarts by Falcon Educational BooksMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is really is really an anthology of essays from different authors on various topics of Stuart life in England: Art, Science, Politics, etc. Most of this is mode-of-life stuff: clothing, dancing, Puritans attacking Christmas and Maypoles, etc. However, what I find most interesting here is the Post-Cromwell meding of monarchical and parliamentary power that suggests the seed of our own Republican ideals.
