Departing from the usual king-centric, high-politics perspective, Richard Huscroft instead centres each of his chapters on the experiences of a particular man or woman who contributed to the broad sweep of events ... This irresistible book deftly weaves together remarkable life-stories to illuminate anew the key themes of this exciting and formative era".--Rabat de la jacquette.
