Review:
Michael Braddick has assembled a highly useful compendium of recent research by thirty international scholars on a subject of perennial interest. (Joseph P. Ward, Seventeenth Century News)
It is impossible not to be impressed with the job done by the editor and his contributors in bringing this volume together. It is a marvellous point for advanced undergraduates and graduate researchers. (James Loxley, Seventeenth Century News)
The editor is to be congratulated on assembling an impressive team. (Keith M. Brown, Scottish Historical Review)
It is impossible not to be impressed with the job done by the editor and his contributors in bringing this volume together. It is a marvellous reference point for advanced undergraduates and graduate researchers, and an excellent summation or aide memoire for the rest of us. (James Loxley, University of Edinburgh, The Seventeenth Century)
The Oxford Handbook of the English Revolution covers most of the essential topics of the period and provides a depth of analysis in a single volume that many monographs dedicated to the period miss. I would venture the conclusion that all but the most assiduous or jaded scholars of the period will come away from the volume with a desire to undertake some further study, and for college level students the essays will be very welcome in getting a handle on the debates of the period ... a useful starting point for those seeking to expand their knowledge of an increasingly complicated field of study. (Dr Elliot Vernon, Reviews in History)
richly rewarding ... authoritative and sometimes arresting scholarship from senior and younger figures, consistently fresh and illuminating analyses, and crisp, accessible writing. (Jonathan Scott, H-Albion)
