A Collection Of Hayne Letters

Bonded Leather binding

Hezekiah Haynes was shaped by the Puritanism of his father’s network and experienced emigration to New England as part of a community removing themselves from Charles I’s Laudianism. Returning to fight in the British Civil Wars, Haynes rose to become Cromwell’s ruler of the east of England, tasked with bringing about a godly revolution, and in rising to prominence he became the centre of his own developing political and religious network, which included a kin link to Cromwell himself. As one of Cromwell’s Major-Generals Haynes was tasked with security and a reformation of manners, but he was hampered by the limits of the early modern state and Cromwell’s own contradictory political and religious ideas. The Restoration saw Haynes imprisoned in the Tower before emerging to return to the community in which he had been raised, and continuing the links with some of those he had worked with for Cromwell and the kin he had left behind in New England in dealing with the norms of early modern life. This book will appeal to specialists in the area and students taking courses on early modern English and American history, as well as those with a more general interest in the period.

This carefully crafted ebook: "ANNIE HAYNES Premium Collection – 8 Golden Age Mysteries in One Volume (Crime & Suspense Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Annie Haynes (1865-1929) was a renowned golden age mystery writer and a contemporary of Agatha Christie, another famous crime writer, which often led to her comparison with the latter, and unfavourably so. In her last years, while suffering from a "grave illness" Haynes continued to produce her mystery masterpieces (12 in total) amongst which "The Crime at Tattenham Corner" was published posthumously and "The Crystal Beads Murder" was completed by an anonymous friend. Haynes's fictions are now lauded for their quick-pace action and sustaining aura of suspense till the end.
