520    The Stuart monarchy brought England and Scotland into one 
       realm, albeit one still marked by political divisions that
       echo to this day. More importantly, perhaps, the Stuart 
       era was marked by the cruelty of civil war, and the 
       killing of a king. Shrewd and opinionated, James I's 
       attitude toward the English parliament sowed the seeds of 
       division that would split the country during the reign of 
       his hapless heir, Charles I. Charles's nemesis, Oliver 
       Cromwell, Parliament's great military leader and England's
       only dictator, began his career as a political liberator 
       but ended it as much of a despot as the king he executed. 
       In Peter Ackroyd's Rebellion, England's turbulent 
       seventeenth century is vividly laid out before us, but so 
       too is the cultural and social life of the period, notable
       for its literature, including Shakespeare's late 
       masterpieces; Jacobean tragedy; the poetry of John Donne 
       and John Milton; and Thomas Hobbes's great philosophical 
       treatise, Leviathan. Ackroyd also gives us a very real 
       sense of the lives of ordinary English men and women, 
       lived out against a backdrop of constant disruption and 
       uncertainty. -- Back cover
