To him we owe a superb gallery of portraits and a vivid report on the period 1640-1667, as well as a number of penetrating epigrammatic judgements on men and events which are still the subject of dispute and discussion. As a statesman Clarendon pursued the ideal of the mean with far-reaching consequences for the development both of state and church; in the history of thought he stands out as an example of what the reign of law meant to an alert but not subtle intelligence in the mid-century; while his quality as a writer of Caroline English is acknowledged. Other interests also abound in this classic of English historical writing, now in large part made available for students and general readers alike., Keywords: History, English History, Seventeenth Century English History, 17th Century English History, Edward Hyde, Clarendon, British History, Seventeenth Century British History, 17th Century British History, CLT00155
