The Crisis of 1614 and The Addled Parliament

This title was first published in 2003. The Crisis of 1614 and The Addled Parliament brings literary historians together with constitutional and state historians to reflect on the political and ideological upheavals of Britain in 1614 from various perspectives. In the aftermath of new historicism and 'revisionist' Stuart historiography the time is right for the detailed study of highly specific historical moments and localities, and 1614 is particularly interesting because few traditional historians have seriously addressed the constitutional crisis of the ill-fated parliament of that year.
