Like its predecessors in the same series, this small handy volume serves its purpose as a good introduction, or a gateway to further study. Here are the basic facts, and an inspiration to follow them up elsewhere. Dr Lacey wears his scholarship lightly, and invites, even inspires, the reader to dig more deeply into the troubled century.
For further reading we can recommend a life of one of the characters who sided with Oliver Cromwell and later played a leading role in the restoration, [[Lawson Lies Still in the Thames: The Extraordinary Life of Vice-Admiral Sir John Lawson by Gill Blanchard]]. The life of King Charles's consort is recounted admirably in [[Henrietta Maria by Dominic Pearce]]. For another very useful volume in the same series with some relevance, see [[The Reformation in 100 Facts by Kathleen Chater]]. You might also appreciate [[The Countess: The Scandalous Life of Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey by Tim Clarke]].
