I had a great time chatting with Jonathan Healey about the 17th century. Rather than the political classes, which usually get the attention when talking about the upheavals of the 17th century, we talked about the what was happening to the people of England and in turn what influence they had on events.
I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan's book 'The Blazing World. A New History of Revolutionary England' available from Blackwells.com and shipped worldwide and other good bookshops.
