Routledge Library Editions: Puritanism The Puritan Gentry: The Great Puritan Families of Early Stuart England, (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1984, this was the first detailed study of the impact of Puritan influences on the wealthy county families of early Stuart England. It discusses one of the central issues in the history of the English Civil War: what motivated those men and women who risked all in opposition to King Charles I.
