Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and career of Edward Hyde, the first Earl of Clarendon, a pivotal figure in the tumultuous years surrounding the English Restoration. The author meticulously examines Clarendon's role in shaping the political landscape, charting his rise from advisor to Charles II in exile to the position of Lord Chancellor, effectively the head of the government. The text explores the complex issues surrounding the Restoration, including the thorny question of how to reconcile the past and the present, the need for a stable and lasting settlement after years of civil war and upheaval, and the challenges of managing a restive populace and a potentially unstable monarchy. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading to the restoration of the monarchy, the trials and executions of the regicides, the settlement of the revenue, the abolition of feudal tenures, the disbanding of the army, and the establishment of a new government. The author goes beyond the surface narrative to reveal the inner workings of the court and the complex relationships between individuals within the government, showcasing the often contrasting political agendas and the motivations behind Clarendon's decisions. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the political machinations of a turbulent era, providing readers with a deeper understanding of one of the most significant figures in English history.
