Charles I

"Charles I" as a book category covers works—scholarly, popular, and fictional—focused on King Charles I of England (reign 1625–1649) and the political, religious, military, and cultural crises of his era. It includes biographies of the king, studies of the English Civil War and its campaigns, analyses of Stuart government, Parliamentarian resistance and the clash over divine right and episcopacy, collections of primary documents (letters, trial records, sermons), social and cultural histories of 17th-century Britain, and historical fiction or drama that dramatizes court life, the Cavaliers vs. Roundheads, the trial and regicide, and the king’s legacy. Readers choosing this category can expect material about monarchy and authority, constitutional conflict, religion and reform, wartime society, and debates in historiography about Charles’s motives, culpability, and long-term impact.
