| Sammanfattning: | The selection of a theme for a volume of essays dedicated to our teacher,
mentor and friend Anthony Fletcher was a peculiarly difficult task. His
contribution to the field of early modern history has, in the course of a
lifetime’s career, encompassed a wide range of research interests. From
his early studies on county history, notably of Sussex, to his powerful and
meticulous account of the outbreak of the English Civil War, from his
analyses of the dynamics of office-holding among local magistrates and
county gentry, to the influence of the Protestant religion upon household
and government in the early Stuart period, it is extremely difficult to categorise
him as a particular type of historian. His name is familiar to most
former ‘A’ level history students as the author of Tudor Rebellions (now
in its fifth edition), a book which first inspired many young people
to study early modern history through its engagement with archival
material and clear communication of the excitement of interpreting
primary historical documents. The impact of this book nationally was
brought home at one of the present author’s weddings, where a guest
(a former ‘A’ level history student, now turned city lawyer and not
usually given to over-excitement) glanced at the seating plan and
exclaimed ‘That’s not the Anthony Fletcher is it?’ |
