Beginning with a historiographical debate on the causes and consequences of the English Civil War, it moves on to consider the major themes of population change, agriculture, industry and the establishment of the overseas colonies. In addition, the changing structure of society is discussed, with chapters on the lower orders, the landed and emerging middle classes and cultural change.
