John Gurney is a Visiting Fellow in the School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University
Gurney has written a remarkable book… comprehensively researched,
it is a notable addition to a highly successful Manchester
University Press series. No historian dealing with this period can
afford to ignore it.'
R. C. Richardson, Southern History
This work attempts to place the Diggers in context on a number of
different levels: locally, nationally, politically, and
intellectually. The aim is to improve our comprehension of the
Diggers in their time and place without having Winstanley dominate
the account; this is a laudable change of focus, as a prolific
radical theorist can skew the analysis.
