| Abstract: | This essay offers a critical reassessment of Revisionism from the perspective of a specialist on the later seventeenth century who has recently moved back to work on the early Stuart period. It addresses three broad areas--the question of ideological consensus in pre-civil war England, the nature of the early Stuart Church, and the social depth of politics. Incorporating Scotland and Ireland as well as England, it highlights how scholarship by later-Stuart historians and by those working on "history from below" exposed the limitations of Revisionism, and it points to the need to seek long-term explanations for the origins of the English civil war.
