Description
This book is a study of centre-local interaction, based upon the experience of the people of an English county, during a very turbulent period in their history.
The work revolves around: the relationship between centre and locality, and the partisan use of local institutions and sentiment for 'national' ends.
Dr Coleby combines administrative and political history, and establishes with unusual rigour and clarity the nature of the late-seventeenth-century English polity.
Whilst there have been many county studies of the early Stuart and Civil War periods, few accounts hitherto have looked at the situation both before and after the restoration of Charles II in 1660.
Dr Coleby argues for the continuity of governmental concerns throughout the later seventeenth century, and challenges received wisdom about the relative local efficiency of Interregnum and Restoration regimes.
