  • "The opening essay, a skillful work of historical detection, investigates the strange career of Nicholas Hill. In "Laudianism and Political Power," Trevor-Roper returns to the subject of his first, now classic, book. He analyzes the real significance of the ecclesiastical movement associated with Archbishop Laud and speculates on what might have happened if the Stuarts had not abandoned it. "James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh" deals with a key figure in the intellectual and religious life of his time. A long essay on "The Great Tew Circle" reinstates Lord Falkland as an important influence on the continuity of ideas through the English revolution. The final essay reassesses the political ideology of Milton."
  • "English intellectual history, as Trevor-Roper constructs it here for the seventeenth century, is conditioned by its social and political context. Always engaging and fresh, these essays deal with currently interesting historical topics and up-to-date controversies."
  • "Renaissance Essays, published in 1985, confirmed Hugh Trevor-Roper's reputation as one of the most distinguished writers of history and as an unequaled master of the historical essay. Received with critical acclaim in both England and the United States, the volume gathered wide-ranging essays on both British and European history from the fifteenth century to the early seventeenth centuries. This sequel, Catholics, Anglicans, and Puritans, is composed of five previously unpublished essays on the intellectual and religious movements which lay behind the Puritan revolution in England and Ireland."
  • "The five completely new essays in this volume together form a a major work of intellectual history by the most distinguished historian of the English seventeenth century. Their setting is England and Ireland, their theme the intellectual and religious movements which lay behind the Puritan revolution. "Laudianism and Political Power", the prodigious centrepiece, is now the best account we have of its subject ... Yet Trevor-Roper is more accomplished still in the longish essay on the small or at least slenderly documentated and reclusive figure or question. So the most enthralling piece in this collection in on the obscure English atomist Nicholas Hill, just as the author's most satisfying book is The Hermit of Peking. -- Patrick Collinson, Times Literary Supplement."
