Items related to Charles I (British History in Perspective)
A fair trial for King Charles I, which clarifies how new works about early Stuart politics relate to each other, and to the old work. Young (history, Illinois Wesleyan U.) guides the reader through recent literature, explaining the issues at stake, and suggesting which historians have been right or wrong where Charles is concerned. Organized around a dramatic narrative of events that puts Charles back into perspective, the survey concludes that bold claims about originality and revisionism in recent literature have been greatly exaggerated.

Review:
'The complex historiography of the reign of Charles I is surveyed with clarity, authority and perception in Michael B. Young's Charles I. Like other contributions to the excellent series British History in Perspective, edited by Jeremy Black, this book is ideally suited to the needs of students...It can be warmly recommended as easily the most up-to-date and detailed overview of the recent historiography of Charles's reign.' - David L. Smith, English Historical Review
