- Title
Public Images of Parliament During its Absence.
- Authors
Cope, Esther S.
- Abstract
During the 1630s, when the English Parliament was not convened, neither the idea of Parliament nor the memories of previous parliaments disappeared. Parliament was perceived in a number of different ways, to judge from the sources that survive. It was a turbulent assembly where grievances were aired, a council that advised the king, a supporter of wars, a maker of laws, and a granter of taxes. People gave far more importance to its conciliar role than to its fiscal or legislative role, and they did not perceive it as a means of threatening a monarch.
