The Lord Protector has come to Murkmere for Leah's sixteenth-birthday ball, but Leah's obsession with a sacrilegious swanskin threatens to upset the delicate political calculations that keep Murkmere out of the hands of the Lord Protector's followers, particularly the scheming steward. Sharpe goes on to argue that the republic, in contrast, failed to find its own mode of representation; images of kingship remained culturally dominant even during the republic, and came to the political foreground with the installation of Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector, a king in all but name well before the actual restoration of monarchy in 1660. Motivated by a shared religious belief that mankind was living "at the end of time," Winthrop led fellow Puritans to the New World, where he served as first governor of the Massachusetts colony, while Cromwell led an army through England's Civil War, deposed Charles I, and was appointed the nation's Lord Protector. |
