Republic: Britain’s Revolutionary Decade, 1649–1660 by Alice Hunt invites you to explore a transformative epoch in British history that reshaped the nation’s identity forever.

This enthralling narrative reveals a decade marked by political upheaval and cultural innovation, as the dust settled from the execution of Charles I. Witness the rise of the republic, the abolition of monarchy, and the dismissal of the House of Lords, as Hunt paints a vivid picture of a nation undergoing unprecedented change.

Supported by meticulous research, the book offers a year-by-year chronicle that captures the exhilarating pace of the 1650s, allowing readers to grasp the complexities of this revolutionary time. Some key features include:

  • Cultural Impact: Discover how this pivotal decade influenced the relationships between England, Scotland, and Ireland.
  • Enduring Significance: Engage with the lasting legacy of these events that continue to shape modern British identity.
  • Critical Acclaim: With praise from historians like Suzannah Lipscomb for its “magisterial” and “compelling” prose, this book stands as an essential read for history enthusiasts.

Through Hunt's keen insights, readers gain not only an understanding of pivotal events but also embark on a vivid journey through a remarkable time in history. Republic is more than just a historical account; it’s a profound exploration of what it means to redefine a nation in the face of monumental change.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
