Synopsis

This text presents a reassessment of the cultural and political history of England and suggests alternative approaches to the study of 17th and 18th-century England. It sets about returning aesthetics to the centre of the master narrative of politics. Focus is on topics and moments that illuminate the connection between aesthetic issues of a private or public nature and political culture . Politics between the Puritan and Romantic Revolutions, the authors argue, was a set of social and aesthetic practices, a narrative of presentations, exchanges, and performances as much as it was a story of monarchies and ministries.
