Reviews

Hoppit's book is inclusive. His chapters on the church are excellent, and his vignettes of royal figures - Queen Anne being the most insightful - are delights. This book will stand the test of time. Canadian Journal of History [A] exemplary book...astute and intelligent. Penelope J. Corfield, Times Literary Supplement
