Christopher Hill (1912 -). Distinguished Marxist historian and scholar of 17th century England.
'This is a book we have all been waiting for - a history of the
political and religious conflicts of the seventeenth century that
is rooted in reality; and it will be a long, long time before this
brilliantly lucid and forcefully argued book is bettered.' -
Spectator
'Lucid and economical ... his immense range of reading sits lightly
upon him, revealed only in the frequent, telling quotation on every
aspect of seventeenth century life ... ingenious and provocative.'
