Produktbeschreibung

Perspectives on English Revolutionary Republicanism takes stock of developments in the scholarship of seventeenth-century English republicanism by looking at the movements that have shaped the field over the decades: the linguistic turn, the cultural turn and the religious turn. The contributors to this volume have brought these approaches together in a number of case studies covering republican language, republican literary and political culture, and republican religion. Taken together the essays demonstrate the vitality and diversity of what was once regarded as a narrow topic of political research.
