REBELLION: BRITAIN’S FIRST STUART KINGS, 1567-1642
Book ID/图书代码： 00200019C00018
English Summary/英文概要： A gripping new account of one of the most important and exciting periods of British and Irish history: the reign of the first two Stuart kings, from 1567 to the outbreak of civil war in 1642 - and why ultimately all three of their kingdoms were to rise in rebellion against Stuart rule.
Both James VI and I and his son Charles I were reforming monarchs, who endeavoured to bolster the authority of the crown and bring the churches in their separate kingdoms into closer harmony with one another. Many of James’s initiatives proved controversial - his promotion of the plantation of Ulster, his reintroduction of bishops and ceremonies into the Scottish kirk, and his stormy relationship with his English parliaments over religion and finance - but he just about got by. Charles, despite continuing many of his father’s policies in church and state, soon ran into difficulties and provoked all three of his kingdoms to rise in rebellion: first Scotland in 1638, then Ireland in 1641, and finally England in 1642.
Was Charles’s failure, then, a personal one; was he simply not up to the job? Or was the multiple-kingdom inheritance fundamentally unmanageable, so that it was only a matter of time before things fell apart? Did perhaps the way that James sought to address his problems have the effect of making things more difficult for his son? Tim Harris addresses all these questions and more in this wide-ranging and deeply researched new account, dealing with high politics and low, constitutional and religious conflict, propaganda and public opinion across the three kingdoms - while also paying due attention to the broader European and Atlantic contexts
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书以扣人心弦的笔触，重新诠释了英国与爱尔兰历史上至关重要且波澜壮阔的时代，从1567年斯图亚特王朝首位君主执政，至1642年英国内战爆发期间，追溯了三位君主如何最终导致其治下的三个王国相继掀起反抗斯图亚特统治的浪潮。
詹姆斯六世及一世与其子查理一世皆为锐意改革的君主，他们竭力巩固王权，并试图使各自王国中的教会达成更紧密的协调。詹姆斯的诸多举措引发了巨大争议，他在乌尔斯特推行殖民计划，在苏格兰教会中恢复主教制与繁复仪轨，并因宗教及财政问题与英格兰议会冲突不断，但他尚能勉强维系统治。查理一世尽管延续了其父在教会与国家政策上的诸多方针，却很快陷入困境，激起了治下三个王国的联合反抗：1638年苏格兰首举义旗，1641年爱尔兰继而响应，最终英格兰在1642年加入反叛行列。
查理的失败究竟是其个人能力不足所致，抑或是多王国共主的继承体系本就难以维系，使得分崩离析成为必然？詹姆斯应对危机的方式是否反而为其子埋下了更深的隐患？蒂姆·哈里斯在这部视野宏阔、考证精深的新作中，对这些问题进行了深入剖析。本书不仅聚焦高层政治与底层动态、宪政与宗教冲突、三个王国间的宣传博弈与民心向背，更将视野延伸至欧洲大陆与大西洋彼岸的时代背景之中。(ZY)
