Protestantism and Patriotism: Ideologies and the Making of English Foreign Policy 1650-1668

Protestantism and Patriotism offers a fundamental reinterpretation of English political culture between1650 and 1668. It is also both the most detailed study to date of the causes and consequences of the first two Anglo-Dutch Wars (1652-1654 and 1665-1667), and a reconfiguration of the English political nation which engaged in those two conflicts.
