The enduring controversy about the nature of parliament informs nearly all debates about the momentous religious, political and governmental changes of the period - most significantly, the character of the Reformation and the causes of the Revolution. Meanwhile, scholars of ideas have emphasised the historicist turn that shaped political culture. Religious and intellectual imperatives from the sixteenth century onwards evoked a new interest in the evolution of parliament, framing the ways that contemporaries interpreted, legitimised and contested Church, state and political hierarchies.Politics, culture, and society in early modern Britain.Political cultureGreat BritainHistoryCongressesHistoriographyPolitical aspectsGreat BritainCongressesGreat BritainPolitics and government1603-1714CongressesGreat BritainPolitics and government1485-1603CongressesElectronic books.Political cultureHistoryHistoriographyPolitical aspects328.41/09Gajda Alexandra1979-Cavill P.
