An exciting narrative of the rise and fall of Britain's republican experiment.
An immersive tale of political and cultural crisis, but also a story of joy and hopeful innovation, told with honesty and passion.
Events unfolded rapidly in 1650. After the execution of Charles I, the 'dangerous' monarchy was abolished and the House of Lords dissolved, sending shockwaves throughout the kingdom. These revolutionary acts set in motion a decade of incredible change and instability, under the leadership of the soldier-politician Oliver Cromwell.
The unique and distinct republican experiment in England may have been brief, but it changed the course of British history. It transformed the relationship between England, Scotland, and Ireland, redesigned the agreement between the monarch and the people, and reshaped the stories the British told - and continue to tell - about themselves.
REPUBLIC is a rich and fascinating chronological account of this remarkable and bold period. It tells the story of what Britain's republic was really like: why it failed, but also what it did right.
