Books by Ronald (Professor of History Hutton

A biography of the king who is remembered by the English with more popular affection than any almost any other. Covering his entire life, this lively and comprehensive biography is the first united history of the British Isles in this period.

A detailed study of a vital and eventful period of English history, which witnessed the Plague, the Great Fire of London, the naval wars against the Dutch and the transformation of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth into the Restoration monarchy of Charles II.

From May Day revels and Midsummer fires, to Harvest Home, and Hallowe'en, to the twelve days of Christmas, Ronald Hutton takes us on a fascinating journey through the ritual year in Britain. This comprehensive and engaging study covers the whole sweep of history from the earliest written records to the present day.

The first scholarly study of the only religion which England has ever given the world; modern pagan witchcraft. It tells the story of its development and nature, and uses that story as a microhistory for a general consideration of attitudes to paganism, witchcraft, and magic in British society since 1800.
