R. Tanner's authoritative study stands as one of the most lucid accounts of that momentous age. Spanning the years 1603 to 1689, this scholarly work chronicles the great constitutional struggles between the Crown and Parliament — from the early provocations of James I's absolutist ambitions, through the catastrophic Civil War and the execution of Charles I, to the Restoration and the ultimate triumph of parliamentary sovereignty enshrined in the Glorious Revolution. Tanner presents the ideological fault lines of the era with precision and clarity, illuminating how competing theories of royal prerogative and parliamentary right collided to reshape the very foundations of English governance.\n\nDrawing on a commanding command of primary sources, Tanner argues that these decades were not merely a succession of political crises but a sustained and defining constitutional revolution whose legacy continues to underpin modern democratic institutions. His prose is measured and authoritative, guiding the reader through complex legal and parliamentary disputes with the steady hand of a master historian. Published by Cambridge University Press, English Constitutional Conflicts of the Seventeenth Century remains an indispensable work for anyone seeking to understand how England forged its constitutional identity — and why the battles of this remarkable century still resonate today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572800917723,"sku":"2026100011071-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/572dc470-8e69-4332-b6aa-efd2352048f1.png?v=1791167433","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011071-secondhand-english-constitutional-conflicts-of-the-seventeenth-century-1603-1689","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
