The Salacious Historian's Lair - Baroque Costumes (2077 words)
1660s She wears an interesting cap/hat over her hood, because this cap looks a lot like the male 1700 indoor caps that were made presumably from fl/dark wool and fur edged/lined.
1660s This hood shows a large lace edging, it looks exaggerated due to the nature of the miniature, but the construction is essentially the same, with the 'bun bag' in the bag, held on by a drawstring or ties.
1660s She is wearing a square kerchief around her neck and one of the open hoods that are pinned on a coif underneath.
Review: The Restoration: England in the 1660s (1763 words)
Indeed, in the 1660s this acid observer appropriated the term 'Restoration' for her husband’s attempt to achieve the people’s liberties in the Civil Wars.
The terminological calm, however, coexists with much historical work on the substantially unresolved political situation, an increasingly intense debate amongst historians about the status and nature of religious and political activity in the period 1660-90, and increasing attention to the cultural expression of the crises of the period by literary scholars.
It would also be interesting to know explicitly where Keeble thinks the 1660s and the troubled term 'Restoration' itself do or do not fit in to the current narratives of the second half of the century (and, come to that, the first).
