18. An important exception is Schwoerer, Declaration of Rights, which does attempt to integrate high and low politics and to examine the machinations of the political elite with propaganda aimed at swaying opinion out-of-doors, though chronologically the focus of the book is very narrow.

20. Ronald Hutton's biography of Charles II, King of England, Scotland and Ireland (Oxford, 1989) does look at all three kingdoms, but is naturally a top-centred history and does not take the story beyond 1685.
