Â English Restoration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English Restoration or simply Restoration was an episode in the history of Great Britain beginning in 1660 when the monarchy was restored under King Charles II after the English Civil War.
The name Restoration may apply both to the actual event by which the English monarchy was restored, and to the period immediately following the accession of Charles II.
The Protectorate, which had preceded the Restoration and followed the Commonwealth, might have continued a little longer if Oliver Cromwell's son, Richard Cromwell, who was made Lord Protector on his father's death, had been capable of carrying on his father's policies.

First, taking issue with Pierre Rosanvallon and Sheryl Kroen, he asserts that the Bourbon Restoration was never an “impossible monarchy.”[1] Although its foundation was shaky, Skuy maintains that the Restoration did, in the aftermath of the assassination, succeed in establishing genuine popular support.
Conspiracy became a self-fulfilling prophecy: fear of conspiracy led Restoration Frenchmen to hatch their own counter-schemes, which, in turn, reinforced the general belief in the shadowy, devious nature of politics.
If the nature of political legitimacy was the problem at the center of the Bourbon Restoration, it is not clear how the royalist reaction could be both the foundation of popular royalism and the beginning of the end for the Bourbon monarchy.

Â Restoration, in English history. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05

The term is often used to refer to the entire period from 1660 to the fall of James II in 1688, and in English literature the Restoration period (often called the age of Dryden) is commonly viewed as extending from 1660 to the death of John Dryden in 1700.
In literature perhaps the most outstanding result of the Restoration was the reopening of the theaters, which had been closed since 1642, and a consequent great revival of the drama (see English literature).
The Restoration period was marked by an advance in colonization and overseas trade, by the Dutch Wars, by the great plague (1665) and the great fire of London (1666), by the birth of the Whig and Tory parties, and by the Popish Plot and other manifestations of anti-Catholicism.

Â Amazon.ca: Sakamoto Ryoma and the Meiji Restoration:: Books

This proves to be one of the better books on the Meiji Restoration movement and Sakamoto Ryoma who was the one of the primary movers of that movement as Japan moved to a more modern government and society.
But I would be honest to say that this book is NOT for casual readers since the subject matter is so alien and complex to many English speaking readers.
Meiji Restoration is a complex subject matter even for Japanese history students but Jansen should be credited for bringing such a matter to clearer light in his book.

Â THE INFLUENCE OF FRENCH ON ENGLISH IN THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD

Â Whilst it was arguable during the Restoration whether the loans were corrupting or enriching the language, today there is no doubt or disputable grounds to argue that the loans did anything but enrich the English language.
For a greater portion of the Middle English period (M.E.) French (Fr.) was the governing vernacular of England.
loans from the opening of the period to approximately the Restoration reveal that both of the aforementioned motives for borrowing are valid.

Â Lynch, "False Refinement and Declension"

Interest in Saxon antiquities, to be sure, was never really popular, but scholarly interest in the roots of the English language was considerable; and from at least the late sixteenth century this study was associated with British national identity.
The movement was in fact already underway in the Restoration.
His "studious" search for "examples and authorities from the writers before the restoration" is an expression of the eighteenth-century desire to authorize the language by reference to a corpus of canonical British texts.

Â The French Flags

But the count of Chambord insisted on restoring the white flag, and this proved fatal to the restoration effort: French monarchists knew that there was no way to impose on the country a flag which by now symbolized the most retrograde and antiquated aspects of monarchism.
The time seemed ripe for a restoration, and the two branches of the Bourbon family had even reconciled: the childless count of Chambord would reign first, and the throne would then naturally pass to the Orléans branch.
Thereafter the three parties to the civil wars of 1420-36 are distinguished by the cross: white for the French, red for the English and red saltire for the Burgundians.
