THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION

on Network Three

Social Conflict in early Stuart England
Eight lectures given by PETER LASLETT , Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, at the University of Warwick
8: An Alternative View
Though the events of the years 1640 to 1660 certainly interrupted political life, and may have interrupted economic and social life as well, their effect was not to weaken political consensus but to confirm and intensify it. In his last lecture, Mr. Laslett argues that the most important effect of these events, therefore, was to forge a national political mythology, which has changed as national political sentiment has changed; and he concludes by examining the causes dictated to the English Revolution by the current mythology.
