More about the book
How important is the English Revolution in the histories of England and Europe? What were its long-term consequences? How can we assess its significance within the larger context of world history? While recent historians have tended to play down the historical impact of the English Revolution, Christopher Hill emphasizes it as one of the most decisive events in English and European history. Subjecting to new scrutiny not only parliamentary documents and manifestos, but also literary and dramatic material, Hill reinstates the English Revolution as a key event within world history, setting the major events in the full context of the social activities and problems of the time.
