'... this is a breakthrough book of fundamental importance. By investing it with a new theoretical rigour, and so integrating its intellectual, cultural, social, economic and political aspects, Braddick has not only moved the analysis of state formation on to a broader canvas, but raised it to a new level.' The English Historical Review
'An interesting study with an original approach.' Northern History
'By appreciating the complexity of state 'formation' rather than 'making', and by crossing the boundaries separating periods and those dividing different fields of historical analysis, Braddick has provided the best guide we have to the early modern state.' The Historical Journal
'Constantly thoughtful, the text will prove indispensable.' Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History
On the basis of a wide-ranging synthesis of work in diverse fields of English, British and colonial history, this book makes an alternative argument about the modernisation of the seventeenth-century English state. It also focuses on the role of class and gender interests in the state's development.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book examines the development of the English state during the long seventeenth century, emphasising the impersonal forces which shape the uses of political power, rather than the purposeful actions of individuals or groups. It is a study of state formation rather than of state building. The author's approach does not however rule out the possibility of discerning patterns in the development of the state, and a coherent account emerges which offers some alternative answers to relatively well-established questions. In particular, it is argued that the development of the state in this period was shaped in important ways by social interests - particularly those of class, gender and age. It is also argued that this period saw significant changes in the form and functioning of the state which were, in some sense, modernising. The book therefore offers a narrative of the development of the state in the aftermath of revisionism. Seller Inventory # LU-9780521783460
