H. Keeble\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English Studies and Deputy Principal at the University of Stirling. He is the author of \u003ci\u003eRichard Baxter: Puritan Man of Letters \u003c\/i\u003e(1982) and\u003ci\u003e The Literary Culture of Nonconformity in Later Seventeenth-Century England \u003c\/i\u003e(1987). He has compiled a two-volume \u003ci\u003eCalendar of the Correspondence of Richard Baxter\u003c\/i\u003e (1991, with Geoffrey F.

The restoration of the monarchy in 1660 and the return of Charles II to his throne have often been depicted as a watershed in English history, inaugurating a period of stability following the upheavals and radicalism of the Civil War, the Republic and the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. N. H. Keeble's study challenges this portrayal of events, arguing that the Restoration was in fact tentative and insecure, unsure either of its popular support or its future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eKeeble's cultural history of the 1660s offers a multi-faceted and dynamic model of the decade. Drawing extensively on contemporary accounts, the author reveals that for those who lived through them, the events of 1660 carried no sense of finality or assurance of a new age. By representing the voices of the time, his account restores contingency, instability and insecurity to the Restoration and demonstrates that the 1660s were no less complex or exciting than the revolutionary years that preceded them.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"In this compelling and stylish book, N.H. Keeble explores the political miracle of the Restoration. Using a plethora of diaries and memoirs, poetry and polemic, Keeble helps us \u003ci\u003elisten\u003c\/i\u003e to the voices of that intensely introspective era.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eMark Goldie\u003c\/b\u003e, Churchill College, Cambridge  \u003cp\u003e\"A stimulating overview of one of the most intriguing decades of English history. Generous use of apt, often colourful quotations from contemporary sources gives the book a refreshing air and makes for a compelling read. Keeble's effective use of the latest scholarship adds to the book's value, making it an excellent introduction to the period and essential reading for those interested in the Stuart period.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eRichard L.
