The time traveller's guide to Restoration Britain : a handbook for visitors to the years 1660-1700 of London
Mortimer, Ian, 1967-2018
Books, Manuscripts
Although the Restoration set out to return peace and order to Britain after the upheaval created by the civil wars and Cromwell's Commonwealth, these were truly revolutionary decades. Rapid change in all areas of life made people question long-held views and beliefs. Most of all, this is a time when religion and superstition were beginning to give way to a rational and scientific outlook on the world. This volume tells you everything you'd need to know as a prospective traveller to seventeenth-century Britain.
