The Family in the English Revolution

Family, Sexuality, and Social Relations in Past Times

by Christopher Durston

Durston (history, St. Mary's College, UK) argues that the family emerged from the maelstrom of revolution largely intact, even strengthened, and concludes that the English people's attachment to traditional family structures played a significant role in assuring the failure of the English revolution and the return of the monarchy in 1660.
