The 1670s were the heyday of Restoration England -- a period of experimentation, politicization, and strife.
However, even though the decade was a crucial period in England's history, little has been written about it.
England in the 1670s fills this gap in the literature by exploring the richness and complexity of the decade, and by challenging existing assumptions about it.
Drawing on maps, sermons, diaries, tracts, news, and a range of literary sources to explore subjects as diverse as prostitution, piety, cartography, commerce, heroism, and the "talk of the town", England in the 1670s paints a revealing and vibrant portrait of a society grappling with change.
