简介
Many historians view early modern England as a time of increasing isolation and xenophobia. Claydon (history, University of Wales, Bangor) takes exception to this assumption. He argues that the English saw themselves as part of the international Protestant Reformation and also of Christendom as a whole. He notes the popularity of travel guides in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century and how they formed an English sense of place in Europe. He then gets into the thornier issues of the internal constitutional struggles in England and the external wars that led to the establishment of the British Empire. Claydon feels that religious identity was a key factor in the relationship of England and the other European countries, without it they would never have preferred a German-speaking Protestant over a Catholic Stuart as king. This theory is interesting and controversial and should provoke lively debate in the academic community. Annotation 漏2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
