Puritans in Conflict: The Puritan Gentry During and After the Civil Wars: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Puritans in Conflict: The Puritan Gentry During and After the Civil Wars" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Originally published in 1988, and the companion book to The Puritan Gentry, covering the period of the Civil War, the English republic and the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, this book gives an account of how the godly interest of the Puritans dissolved into faction and impotence. The fissures among the Puritan gentry stemmed, as the book shows, from a conflict between their zeal in religion and the conservative instincts which owed much to their wealth and status.

I n The Puritan Gentry, which was published in 1984, I showed that in the early seventeenth century there were a considerable number of prominent county families which were strongly attached to the cause of godliness; that this was primarily a reflection of genuine religious conviction rather than political dissent; and that concern about the future of true religion was a key factor in the growing alienation of families of this type during the 1630s. Such families ensured that their children received a godly education; presented Puritan ministers to livings in their gift and employed Puritan chaplains; and diligently engaged in religious exercises in the privacy of their country houses. The present volume takes up the story where The Puritan Gentry left off, that is to say at the end of 1641, and carries it on through the period of the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth into the reign of Charles .

As before it is the leading Puritan gentry, most of them with landed estates worth 1,000 a year or more, who occupy the centre of the stage, though their clerical associates also figure prominently. A comprehensive list of families at this income level can be found in the Appendix together with a list of other Puritan gentry who are mentioned in the text.
