Synopsis

This is a revised edition of Christopher Hill's examination of the motivations behind the English Revolution and Civil War, first published in 1965. In addition to the text of the original, Dr Hill provides 13 new chapters which take account of other publications since the first edition, bringing his work up-to-date. This book poses the problem of how, after centuries of rule by King, lords, and bishops, when the thinking of all was dominated by the established church, English men and women found the courage to revolt against Charles I, abolish bishops, and execute the king in the name of his people.
