Description

This Routledge biography explores the remarkable life of Anthony Ashley Cooper, First Earl of Shaftesbury, a towering figure in seventeenth-century English politics. Despite fighting against the king during the Civil War and serving in the republican governments of the 1650s, Shaftesbury navigated the treacherous political landscape to maintain influence after the Restoration of Charles II, earning a peerage and holding several significant offices. Following his dismissal from government in 1673, he emerged as the de facto leader of the opposition faction and a steadfast champion of the Protestant cause. This historical biography provides essential insight into one of England's most consequential political operators during a transformative period in British history.
