Enemies Under His Feet
$20.17
Book
Most historians have hitherto assumed that militant Protestantism was nearly extinct during the Restoration -- that radical opponents of the government of Charles II, apart from a handful of fanatics, were thoroughly demoralized by their defeat at the hands of Royalists and Churchmen, and either shed their radicalism entirely or else turned their zeal inward toward quiteism. The author convincingly shows that this accepted view has greatly underestimated the extent to which organized opposition to the restored Stuart regime was present in the 1660's and 1670's.
Much of the material in this book, drawn almost exclusively from rarely used archival material in England, Scotland, and the Netherlands will be new to students of the period. But it was familiar enough to Charles II and his advisers, whose agents uncovered everything from assassination plots to seditious conspiracies and planned rebellions. The author's detailed account shows that radical dissent, far from dying out, simply went underground. The author also looks at the problem of toleration for nonconformists, and shows how this issue was directly related to the activities of radical militants.
The book covers radical activity in England, Scotland, and Ireland, was well as in exile communities in the Netherlands and Switzerland, seeking to determine not only what the radicals were doing but what connections existed among them. What emerges is a vivid account of the tangled web of conspiracy, idealism, frustration, resiliency, and ineptitude in the far flung radical community. We also gain insight into the place of that community in the broader world of nonconformity. The government had difficulty understanding this world, but it expended considerable effort to develop and implement policies to deal with the militants. To overlook this fact is to omit a fundamental aspect of Charles II's reign, and thus distort our understanding of it.

Irish Raptor
image
Saint Patrick's day was coming up and I wanted to do a holiday themed drawing my way- with a raptor! In this drawing I used prismacolor color pencils to achieve bright colors and for blending. I wanted to do a simple drawing so I tried to think of objects that immediately bring to mind Ireland or Saint Patrick's, and decided a clover and an Irish beer mug did the trick. The green in the background is used to reinforce the Irish theme. This artwork would make a great print.
