A scholarly examination of how Restoration-era historians interpreted and shaped understanding of the English Civil War. Royce MacGillivray analyses the writings and political perspectives of major seventeenth-century historians including Clarendon, Hobbes, Rushworth, Whitelocke and Burnet, exploring how Royalist, Parliamentarian and Whig interpretations evolved between the Restoration and the early eighteenth century.
Published as part of the respected International Archives of the History of Ideas series, the work provides a detailed historiographical study of Civil War memory, political interpretation and historical writing in post-Restoration Britain. A useful academic reference for students and collectors interested in seventeenth-century political thought, historiography and Civil War studies.
