商品簡介
Fourteen scholarly papers from the last 30 years examine the causes, course, and consequences of the British Civil War (1642-48). Readings include Conrad Russell on Charles I, Sir William Brereton on the War and religion, and Christopher Hill on whether the British Civil War was really a bourgeois revolution. The period covered by the anthology extends until 1649, and a forthcoming volume is expected to address 1649-1660 (the interregnum). Each of the three major sections (causes, course, consequences) features substantial introductions that contextualize the papers and discuss recent trends and issues in historical research.
