It thus shows that democracy was widely explored and debated at the time; that anti-democratic currents and themes have a long history; that the seventeenth century is the first period in English history where we nonetheless find positive views of democracy; and that whether early-modern writers criticised or advocated it, these discussions were important for the subsequent development of the concept and practice ?democracy?. By offering a new historical account of such development, the book provides an innovative exploration of an important but overlooked topic whose relevance is all the more considerable in today?s political debates, civic conversation, academic arguments and media talk. Contributors include Camilla Boisen, Alan Cromartie, Cesare Cuttica, Hannah Dawson, Martin Dzelzainis, Rachel Foxley, Matthew Growhoski, Rachel Hammersley, Peter Lake, Gaby Mahlberg, Markku Peltonen, Edward Vallance, and John West. 410 0$aHistory of European Political and Constitutional Thought ;$v1. 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 606 $aDemocracy$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 676 $a320.94209032 702 $aCuttica$b Cesare 702 $aPeltonen$b Markku 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511460103321 996 $aDemocracy and anti-democracy in early modern England, 1603-1689$92550202 997 $aUNINA
