"In this compelling and stylish book, N.H. Keeble explores the
political miracle of the Restoration. Using a plethora of diaries
and memoirs, poetry and polemic, Keeble helps us listen to
the voices of that intensely introspective era."
-Mark Goldie, Churchill College, Cambridge
"A stimulating overview of one of the most intriguing decades of
English history. Generous use of apt, often colourful quotations
from contemporary sources gives the book a refreshing air and makes
for a compelling read. Keeble's effective use of the latest
scholarship adds to the book's value, making it an excellent
introduction to the period and essential reading for those
interested in the Stuart period."
