Postscript
Index
Former Master of Balliol College, Oxford, Christopher Hill is an extremely well-known and respected historian. The original edition of this book has been a classic text for over twenty years.
`This is not just a fascinating and beautifully written account of
the English Revolution; it is a classic, and treats of an important
crux in the history of England and the world. If to read history is
an appurtenance of the civilised mind, this is an essential
book.'
A.C. Grayling, Financial Times
