Description

Great Britain: The Book People. Hardcover. All the King's Women. Ove, Sex and Politics in the Life of Charles II. The image of Charles II as a randy monarch who dragged the crown through the moral mire and irredeemably weakened its position has persisted throughout the three centures since John Evelyn gave his judgement. The judgement, the author argues, is fair as far as it goes. The Restoration court did set an example of cynical libterinism that provoked ooposition not only from outraged preachers, but also satrical journaliasts and angry mobs who pelted royal mistresses and burned down brothels. But Charless' bedroom antics are symptoms and not causes of social decadence. These relationships helped form Charles II's character, shape the course of political events and ultimately, seal the fate of the dynasty. But canst thou divine when things shall be mended? When the reign of the line of the Stuarts is ended. Andrrew Marvell. Illustrated. 408 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Fine. Hardcover. 1st Book People Edition. 2003.
