About this title

Review:

..". a model of scrupulous scholarship, which sets a high standard to imitate for those who seek in future to apply similar techniques to other counties in order to interpret popular attitudes to the rival parties in the English Civil War." War in History, Vol. 6, No. 2, 1999 ..". the work of a historian of unmistakable flair. Like all really good local studies it has a sensuous feel for the nature of its territory, and utilizes a very wide range of varieties of source material to reconstruct the experience of its people." (History, Volume 83, No. 269, January 1998) "The book is a brilliantly original exploration of Devon's experience of the seventeenth-century civil wars... his work has important implications for the whole history of Stuart England." David Underdown, Professor of History, Yale University "There is no doubt that this book will now represent the benchmark of how to measure popular participation [in the English Civil War]..." John Morrill, Reader in Early Modern History, University of Cambridge ..".an important contribution to the long-running debate on the origins and nature of the English Civil War." History Today "A clear, persuasive and often trenchantly written discussion.... he has made a significant and refreshingly original contribution to regional history and to the diverse, oft-changing, story of the English Civil War." English Historical Review
