Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xvii, [1], 588, [2] pages. Maps. Abbreviations used in the Notes. Notes. Guide to Further Reading. Index. Tim Harris was educated at the University of Cambridge, from which he received a BA (1980), MA (1984), and Ph.D. (1985). From 1983 to 1986, he was a fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. His doctoral dissertation was published as London Crowds in the Reign of Charles II in 1987. Since 1986, Harris has been on the faculty of the Department of History at Brown University. He rose to become the Munro-Goodwin-Wilkinson Professor in European History from 2004 to the present. Harris' work has focused on the intersection of high politics with popular politics; popular protest; popular religion; and politics in the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Ireland, and the Kingdom of Scotland. His work has mainly focused on the reigns of Charles II of England, James VII and II of Scotland and England, William III of England and Mary II of England, and Anne, Queen of Great Britain From a review posed on line: When Protestant James VI of Scotland also became king of England and Ireland in 1603 there were reasonable levels of goodwill, although the Catholic "Gunpowder" plot two years later indicated a strong subversive undertow. Yet, only 46 years later, James's son Charles I was formally executed by his subjects, and historians have tried ever since to make sense of what went so disastrously wrong for Britain's first Stuart kings between 1603 and 1649. Kings personally waged wars and often led their armies. The only way a monarch could raise money, other than by levying new taxes, was by summoning a parliament to vote for them, or by marriage to a foreign, dowry-yielding princess. Hence the marriage of the newly acceded Charles I in 1625 to the 15-year-old Henrietta Maria from Catholic France. Harris is concerned with the reasons for Charles's failure as a king-rebellion in Scotland in 1638, Ireland in 1641 and England in 1642.
