Description: The King's City: A History of London During The Restoration: The City That Transformed a Nation Hardcover, Dust Jacket, First Edition, Illustrations During the reign of Charles II, London was a city in flux. After years of civil war and political turmoil, England's capital became the center for major advances in the sciences, the theatre, architecture, trade and ship-building that paved the way for the creation of the British Empire. At the heart of this activity was the King, whose return to power from exile in 1660 lit the fuse for an explosion in activity in all spheres of city life. London flourished, its wealth, vibrancy and success due to many figures famous today including Christopher Wren, Samuel Pepys, and John Dryden — and others whom history has overlooked until now. New, never read, in great condition and from a clean, non-smoking home. Questions ???
