Full Description
Insolent proceedings brings together leading scholars working on the politics, religion and literature of the English Revolution. It embraces new approaches to the upheavals that occurred in the mid-seventeenth century, in daily life as well as in debates between parliamentarians, royalists and radicals. Driven by a determination to explore the dynamic course and consequences of the civil wars and Interregnum, contributors investigate the polemics, print culture and everyday practices of the revolutionary decades, in order to rethink the period's 'public politics'. This involves integrating national and local affairs, as well as 'elite' and 'popular' culture, and looking at the connections between everyday activism and ideological endeavours. The book also examines participation by - and the treatment of - women from all walks of life.
