The book challenges the prevailing view that early modern Englishmen were merely subjects under a monarchy, arguing instead that they experienced their lives as active participants in a community with republican characteristics. Markku Peltonen explores how concepts of citizenship and political engagement influenced English society from the mid-sixteenth century through the Civil War in the 1640s, highlighting the complexities of political thought during this period.
