This book examines the period when from 1681 until his death in 1685 Charles II ruled without a Parliament. It argues that the nature of this personal rule was very different from both the personal rule of Charles I in 1629-40 and that of James II in 1685-88. It discusses the nature of the Whig and Tory parties at this crucial period of their formation as political parties, showing how they coped with the absence of a parliamentary forum. It discusses politics in the localities, the growing importance of news dissemination in political life, and the politics of religious persecution and toleration. It includes coverage of Scotland and Ireland, setting the discussion in a ""Three Kingdoms"" context. GRANT TAPSELL is a lecturer in history at St Andrews University. He was previously a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge and a Research Fellow at Darwin College, Cambridge.

The wider repercussions and consequences of Charles II's personal rule are discussed, with special reference to the fledgling Tory and Whig parties.This book is concerned with political culture, government, and religion during the personal rule of Charles II, the period between the dissolution of his last English Parliament in 1681 and his death in 1685. The author argues that the nature of this phase of Stuart personal rule was different to that of Charles I in 1629-40. He discusses the nature of whig and tory politics during this crucial period in their formation as political parties, showing how they coped with the absence of a parliamentary forum. He also examines political life in the English localities, the growing importance of news dissemination in political life, and the politics of religious persecution and toleration. Scotland and Ireland are included in this analysis of Charles's rule, setting the discussion in a Three Kingdoms context. GRANT TAPSELL is Lecturer in Modern History at St Andrews University.
