A significant collection of essays by leading scholars on the vital decade of the 1670s in Britain, Ireland, and North America. This was a period of profound tension and uncertainty which saw the breakdown of the political, religious and cultural settlement reached in 1660 with the return of the monarch after Oliver Cromwell's republic, and the emergence of strange new issues such as religious toleration, England's role in a newly threatening Europe and the emergence of a real public opinion expressed in the press and politicised conversation.
