The Age of Revolution in England 1603 - 1714

The English Revolution, known as the "victorious revolution", spanned a process of political, religious, economic and cultural transformation that continued for a century. In this process, the role of the King and the parliament is repeatedly brought into different boundaries in political conflicts. These are the borders shaped by the economic struggles, religious divisions, class demands and cultural objections that determine the political sphere. We witness an era in which the King is executed, the dynasty changes, religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants rises, the economic power coming from land and agriculture declines against industry and trade, and classes are reshaped. In this work, Christopher Hill describes the actors at different stages of the transformation that took place between 1603-1714; individuals' desires, calculations and interests; While depicting the demands, reactions and expectations of the society in the smallest detail on the same table, it also sensitively discusses the historical importance of the process known as the English Revolution.

"The 17th-century English Revolution has often and fruitfully been compared with the French Revolution of 1789. But there is an important difference. In France, economic and political divisions roughly corresponded to social divisions: the underprivileged Third Estate became the aristocracy and He was against the monarchy; the aristocracy did not play a role in trade and industry, but in England wool, cloth and agricultural production for the market divided the ruling class itself: many gentlemen and even noblemen engaged in economic activities that were out of the question for a French nobleman. .) The division in England was not a division between the Third Estate against the gentry and the nobility; it was a division between the country and the court."
