This book, the second in Kevin Sharpe's trilogy exploring image, power and communication in early modern England, examines their importance during the turbulent seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the crowning of James I to the end of Cromwell's Protectorate, Sharpe considers how kings and, increasingly, monarchy's opponents sought to manage their public image in order to enhance their authority and win support. Royalists and parliamentarians - often using the same vocabularies - engaged in a battle to win legitimacy from the people, played out in words, pictures and performances that might validate rule. Embracing a wide range of sources, including proclamations, coins, buildings and art, Sharpe demonstrates how crucial the appreciation, appropriation and innovation of image was to the outcome of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin Sharpe was Director of the Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies and Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary, University of London.
