Republic

Event information

England's distinctive republican experiment may have been short-lived but it changed the course of British history. Previously unthinkable ideas about sovereignty and liberty were implemented; men and women discussed radical politics; and experimental scientists scrutinised the world in new ways. So much for Roundheads being Right but Repulsive.

Alice Hunt is Professor of Early Modern Literature and History at the University of Southampton. Republic has been chosen by both The Times and The Daily Telegraph as one of the History Books of the Year.

The event is on the first floor. There is a lift to enable access to the venue.
